Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, I have some questions and was just curious if anyone had similar issues.
I have a 1992 M998 with a 12v Cummins swap and 4L80E. Love this beast.

1.) I have noticed that my fuel gauge is off... as in, when it reads "E" I can only put 12 gallons of Diesel in. So its basically half a tank off... Both the sending unit and gauges are 0-90. Before I drop the tank and check the Ohms, any simple things to try first?
2.) When it comes to heating I noticed that the two "rods" that you adjust for defrost/floor heat and temperature are not the same length. The lower one, Heat temp, only comes out half way. Should it be like this or am I binding on something? I will pull apart this weekend and check but I just wanted to see if anyone else had the same issue.
3.) My windshield washer does not actually spray fluid. I only have whipper usage. no cleaning function. Is there a way to verify its not a simple fix or do they just go bad and I need to buy an entire new one?
4.) I have been debating a method to get rid of the ruts that rain creates in my soft top. I have seen some people have used wood but i wondered about plexiglass? Any ideas for this project? I am up for all ideas!
5.) I appreciate all of you for taking time to assist a newbie. I'm bad about uploading photos but I will update this post later with pictures!
