Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but My 99 Suburban has had problems with the gas gauge bouncing unexplainably between E and F, and doesn't read correctly. Turns out the Fuel Pump and sending unit attached to it needs to be replaced (just died in my driveway today). It is a time-consuming job, as the fuel pump assembly is located inside the gas tank.

Why does the gas gauge not work in 1998 Chevy Suburban?

Your gauge could be bad but sometimes the floats in the gas tank get holes in them and fill with gas. this causes the float to stay at the bottom and your gauge to read empty. U might also check the wiring from the sender at the fuel tank to the gas gauge itself.

Only if it's going bad. When the bearing and seal are starting to go bad the water pump will leak from the weep hole.
