Just got back from the dealer. Wanted the fuel gauge issue fixed. The dealer told me I'm no longer under warranty. Missed by 8 days!! I shouldn't have listened to the sales guy when I bought the truck. I was under the impression my Certified bumper to bumper wouldn't start until the Manufacturer warranty was done in a few months. I would have brought it in a month ago if I knew that. My first post back in March about this issue but now I lose.
Looks like I'll be diggin in myself, so thanks for all the good info about the fix for this issue.
What is irritating is I miss by 8 days but yet I still have no owners manual a year later when the owners manual is the 2nd item on the 172 point pre owned inspection checklist. Gotta love the dealers

I spent my time yesterday having a discussion with the dealer. all I came home with is a printed out piece of paper that shows all applicable warranties. I wish they gave me that paper when I bought it. They were more worried with me pushing the "onstar" button. Informed them I would push the button when I got my owners manual.
Oh Well, I work for a large global Manufacturer, 2000+ people in our local N.E.Pa plant alone. I will spread the word about what "Fine" service I got after the sale.

I would like to look into this further for you and set up a case. In order to do so, I will need some more specific information from you. If you could please send me your full name, address, phone number, the VIN for the vehicle, current mileage, and dealer name via private message, I will be able to take further steps. Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you.

Most all of the above posts are correct. This is a common problem and GM is offering a 50% split. I had the problem with my '06 Envoy back in June and replaced the sending unit (actually I did the complete fuel pump assembly). The sending unit was "trashed". I just recently received a letter from GM stating they would cover 50% of the part replacement. I am not sure about labor since I replaced it myself so I threw the letter away. There is no additive or majic fix for this problem. The only fix is to replace the sending unit inside the tank, or, as in my case, I just replaced the entire fuel pump assembly since I was already there - but the entire pump replacement is not necessary.

I received the 50-50 split letter also but don't have the extra cash to even pay half right now. I'd also be surprised if it only cost me $200.00 at the dealer.
I also received a letter from the dealer I bought my vehicle from. it stated I might be due for service on some of the items on the maintenance schedule. I laughed to myself. This is the same people I placed 2 un-returned calls to and 1 call which I was obviously ignored by someone when I told them I hadn't received an owners manual in my GM Certified Vehicle(Item 2 on the check list) I may sound bitter but there were other things on the checklist that weren't inspected either. Certified vehicle buyer beware.
But anyway, I replied to the email stating I'd be happy to bring it in for the scheduled maintenance but I have no idea what the schedule is for the above reasons.
No More GM for me after this thing!
