Gas Gauge Question

I have a new cluster and when I plugged the gas gauge wire in it registered off the charts when it was empty. When I filled it up it now points near the 5-6 o"clock range. How do I adjust this?

Re: Gas Gauge Question

It sounds like the float needs to be adjusted on your sending unit

Re: Gas Gauge Question

did you go from idiot lights to full gauges? if you did, you need change the wiring harness a little. Look in the truck faq's for the wiring instructions.
