Gas gauge stuck on full for two days on my 1996 2.4

Filled my truck up Monday, drove 60 miles so far and tank is still stuck on full.

Is this a common problem?

Hoping there's an easy fix, what do I look for? Bad sending unit? Blown fuse?

Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Maybe your gas mileage is so fucking good, your truck's barely sipping gas.

 

When my truck was stock, I could put close to that many miles on it before the gauge would start to go down (after a complete fill up).

Now I just have to go drive 5 miles to work and it starts to go down

You have a 5 lug right? Judging by your avatar and the 2.4l in your username. Those get good gas mileage, I would keep driving a bit and see. Its probably fine.


if not then maybe the sending unit in the tank is bad

 

Man, wish my gas gauge said full all the time right now!

 

Thank you. But the truck shows "full" even when the key is out. Guess the ground is corroded or burnt out. Not sure how to access it from the sending unit.
