01 chevy express fuel gauge
hey whats up guys i need some help. i bought a used 01 express 3500 with a 5.7. my problem is the fuel guage is shaking like a humming bird and sometimes bounces a little and does not read right. what i did to check is i pulled the fuel pump and tested the sending unit by checking the resistance while moving the float up and down and the resistance goes from like 39 to 240 im guessing the sending unit is good. now i think the stepper motor is bad in my cluster but i cant seem to find one online for a 01 chevy express 3500. any help would be great. also if i go to a junk yard do other stepper motors from another cluster work?

My van also does this intermittently and I have yet to pinpoint the cause.
USUALLY - it's ok but know exactly what you mean & so far I cannot pin down any specific conditions that bring it about. My guess is that it is in the harness and not the sender or gauge itself. (Sending stepper motors are HARD to find for these! You'll have to buy a whole used cluster or send it in to be repaired. Later (2003 & up) clusters use a 'universal' stepper motor.)
