also what tank? usually these trucks have 2, a frame side mounted tank (front of rear axle) and a tank mounted between the rear frame rails, behind the rear axle.

Regular cab long box. It's also 4 wheel drive if that makes a difference

could mostlikely be 19 gallons if the gauge is broken possible sending unit failure

STEEL OR PLASTIC?

IF ITS STEEL THEN ITS 18 GALLONS

IF ITS PLASTIC THEN ITS 19 GALLONS

SOUNDS LIKE A SENDING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

HOPE THAT HELPS

Thank for all the help. I figured it was probably sending unit. Is there anyway to check the gauge cluster?
