Fuel Guage Needle on Crack

Mine just started tweaking too. Right from startup, its vibrating like a tuning fork.

My oil pressure gauge does the same thing..

same here had my oil pressure checked out and it was fine mines either a bad guage or the sending unit for the oil pressure, not that big of a deal most of the time its fine every now and then it acts up

I know this forum is old, but if anyone else is having fuel gauge dancing around 1/2 full, I read these gauges have an silicone gel in them that if drained out somehow, result in this dance. Here's a youtube video on how to fix...

There is a place in CT you can send your cluster to, they will test it and fix any bad guages

A bouncing/erratic gas gauge is one of the biggest problems in these clusters. I replace a lot of them when I recondition the clusters.

I have a source for them but it isn't an inexhaustible supply.

Here are a few pics of a cluster being tested. I check functionality on them all and repair as needed. For whatever reason I have yet to see a Yukon Denali/Escalade cluster come in with a working gas gauge. Here are the after shots.
