01 suburban with multiple issues
Hello all, this is my first post here so I am unsure if y'all like just one post with all problems or different posts for each problem? Please let me know!
But for now, these are the main ones.
First is my gas gauge is being very wonky. One min it works the next it drops down to empty and the low fuel light comes on, even if it has a full tank! So we've just started going by mileage for now since we know we usually can get 300 miles to a full tank (used to be 400 before we moved on post). Does the fact that it's intermittent like that mean something might just be loose? I've heard this is a hard problem to fix. I like to try to do as many of the repairs on my truck as I can (so far I've only had to do altenator and power steering pump) but if this could possible be an easy fix that would be awesome. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
My next issue is the ABS and Brake lights come on and off. Like the gas gauge it's very random when they will come on or not. My problem is here in NC you have to pass an inspection in order to renew tags and it won't pass an inspection with those on. I went to Advanced Auto yesterday and had them run the codes for me to see what the issue is but I haven't had a chance to look them up yet and what they all mean. Let me see if I can put pictures of the codes in.....
