Fuel Gauge test

How can I check my fuel gauge to see if it still works? I am going to hook up an aftermarket fuel guge this weekend and I need to know how I can test the stock fuel gauge to see if it needs replacing. If the aftermarket gauge doesn't work then I would lean towards the sending unit but as it stands right now the stock gauge does absolutely nothing.

Re: Fuel Gauge test

Can I get to the sending unit w/o dropping the tank? Should I just remove the bed?

I just asked a similar question in another post regarding changing out my gas tank. The majority consensus was its easier to remove the bed to get to everything.
