Re: '97 Jimmy with Gas Gauge Issues

This sort of problem is pretty common in Blazers and Jimmys of that generation. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the fuel level sending unit. Another thing about those vehicles and others built by GM is running out of fuel damages the fuel pump. Any time you run out of fuel it's like Russian roulette to your fuel pump, it could seize up any time.
