1999 Chevy Suburban How Do You Know When Shell Gas Is Great?

[fatdaddy6789]

I get the same problem and all my reaserch points to the fuel sending unit/meter in the tank. Makes the truck hate cold weather

[branhkroq]

the fuel pump is going to go out soon-- $300 for pump and do it yourself or $900 in the shop. they only last about 2 years. if you don't have the money to change the pump right away then put in chevron gas it seems to calm down the needle. might buy you some time.

[XHaroldXI]

yup mine does that too, year 2000. . .the fuel pump has also made a high pitched whine for over a year now. . . unstopable truck tho!

[grasscutter88]

isn't that due to lack of baffles in the tank?

[alfabravo98]

my 99 suburban gas gauge just vibrates and the pump and sending unit was replaced 8 months ago

[TheKeashaun]

my gmc yukon denali gas gauge dances every where

[Alprazolam]

typical bad sending unit...i've seen it across the board in tons of late model gm vehicles...bonnevilles have been hit the worst...

[TeKn1qe]

the fuel pump is on its way out. i have a 99 burb that did the same shit.

[mwd92]

my 96 silverado does that and it drives me crazy how do i fix it

[nemoviesnews]

My friends Chevy Does that every time he applies the brake

[jasonwlowrey]

My 99 Suburban does the same thing

[jlaning98]

that has nothing to do with the shell gas

[darksurfer11]

This is pretty funny, I'm gettin ready to do an overhaul on my 95 suburban with trickflow heads and cam with exhaust system. Hopefully get 500hp output

[nicks1258]

be careful the transmitions do like to take much, ours has gone out 3 times...o well the 350 is still like new!

[LVGshultz]

This is actually a mixed problem between electrical interference (bad grounds and such), bad sending unit, and bad solenoid.

[deerslayer25]

Mine spikes way past full then drops to normal level and vibrates like crazy. Had poppet injectors go bad, replaced with a lindertech conversion, I now get 18 mpg over the road. that era with the 5.7 vortech was the best ever

[sclolfunnyeh]

heh my trailblazer did that, its a thing inside the gas tank that breaks i got it replaced.

[hayabusageorge]

i need help put new gasket intake and lifters had to pull the ignition now idlies like crap but runs fine off idlie.was told dealer has to put timing with computer.any ideas

[ezy300]

Didn't shell gas mess up ur gas gauge?

[berger322]

mine reads correct at a stop but when i take off it reads full and when i brake it reads empty

[camping101]

no dancing problem here but my 99 burb fuel pump sure is loud...............

[manitoulin001]

loud when driving or loud during idle and start.... the newer 99 burbs had a stronger bigger fuel pump put in them i believe because they kept having problems with the older smaller ones cause people would run the tank down below a 1/4 and over heat the pump... sometimes a loud pump at idle and weak acceleration or bad shifting can mean your pumps clogged... as for the dancing gauge thats the send & recieving unit in the tank...

[902120]

my 99 suburban doesn't "dance", but it seems to vibrate fast back and forth.

[Chevykidz28]

a buddy of mine has a 98 tahoe 2 door n his gas gauge reads right but it vibrates all the timebut mine in my 00 s10 doesnt work at all

[902120]

same with mine. it reads correctly, but vibrates.

[TurboMathKid94]

mine too lol

[icanrideabigbike]

mine does the same thing

[CamaroTBI]

theyre always reliable!

[milestailsprower3]

nice

[loopfruity]

its not depending on the gaspump , if your truck does that than its your gas needle in your gas tank that measures and sends commands to your dashboard which tells you how much gas you got , if that gas line is staggering around than your needle is moving around so thatss about 50 bux to get done and if you have warranty , thats included...

[pete01768]

as a 1999 owner, that fuel gauge thing is a normal thing. I was told it was "high resistance" but that is shit. It's just junk probably made by siemens. I am surprise the needle does not "flutter"

[blakej0000]

they do need a recall my 01 tahoe does the same thing!

[chevybro03]

dude, my 2000 silverado does that... well did that.. until my fuel pump went out! watch out, when the dealership replaced my fuel pump, it fixed the problem... it doesnt do it anymore after the new pump...

[tomasiaYlogana]

my '98 silverado does the same thing, although it still gives an accurate reading, it just bounces around where it should be.

[EGsax]

LOL! That is so crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nitro911tomany]

[EGsax]
