No, not a trick question. Even I know there is always some left in the system, before the engine stops running from, lack of fuel. So I was wondering if any of you guys would know. Just my $0.02 cents...

By the way, Does anyone know how much fuel is left in a stock M1009 27 gallon tank, when a working fuel gauge reads "Empty"? Just my $0.02 cents...

Hello Stan, No worries, I will not run out of fuel. I will keep my eye on the new gauge, and I also know what she sounds like when she is near empty, so I can get to the nearest diesel station before I run out. I know what a pita it is to restart a diesel engine after it completely runs out...

Hi guys... Update: Today 11/13/2012. I topped off my fuel tank, and when I started my truck, the fuel gauge started working. It now reads full. And when I shut off my truck at home, the needle started going towards emtpy... So I suppose that the fuel level was just too low for the gauge to...

Hello SouthernSteel, Thank you for the post, information and all that. I dug into my instrument cluster and replaced the fuel gauge. Was not really that hard. Just time consuming, because I ran into a few minor problems. But the new fuel gauge does not work to solve my problem, the new...

Hello SouthernSteel, Thank you for posting those photos. Those will be a great help in me doing this. I can now see what I am getting myself into. Does not look too hard at all. But I do not plan on removing the entire cluster from the vehicle. I should be able to get the fuel gauge out...

StationJJ, I just got the gauge in the mail today... I will try and put it in tomorrow. Just got to be careful, so I do not get caught doing it here. Will let you know if it solves my problem, after I get it installed. I had a new sender put in just a few months ago, and the rest of the...

Fridge, Thank you for the post, that is exactly what I needed to know... What does the back of the stock gauge look like? 3 screws sticking out the back (I hope).. How many holes in the socket the gauge plugs into? Good night...

Hi guys... I just got my the fuel gauge I have been expecting from LMC truck for my M1009. Now I have read the TM, and now know exactly how to remove it. But... After I disconnect the batteries FIRST... If all goes well, how long should it take? Also, do you simply pull it out of a...
