you're not the only one. I haven't been online. Anyhow, I have had unrealistic fuel guages myself. My last truck told me I had plenty of fuel .... as I ran out. This truck is more like yours. my troubles started when I replaced the fuel tank with an aluminum tank that comes on the newer model of my truck. I just figure that I can get closer to empty without worrying about running out of fuel. I learned on the last truck that diesels don't like to run out of fuel.
