1 The sending unit for the fuel gauge is broken.

1 Fix, drop the the tank. Or remove the bed. On the top of the tank is 2 circle shaped caps. One has metal hoses and wires (fuel pump) and the other smaller of the 2 has just wires fuel gauge sending unit. The gas gauge sending unit is a dealer part. Some used parts shops have them but you run the risk of having to fix the issue again.

2 The gauge it's self is bad.

2 Fix, Go to Walmart. Buy a cheap gas gauge. Remove the gauge cluster from the truck and run jumpers wires from the old fuel gauge to the new. Turn the key on and enjoy. Or buy a used gauge cluster and plug and play.
