Fuel gauge doesn't hit full

[LaRamie]

No problems with ours for a while now. Oddly seems like a break in thing for some reason, because for the first month and a half to two months it didnt hit full. So per my experience give it time. You're not going to get a 26 gal fill up at empty, they've left a buffer there. Just give it time and see

I am having the same issue with my truck, which has the 26 gal tank. The gauge never hits "Full" and when I ran the tank down below "10 miles of range" I was only able to pump 22.5 gallons in. Therefore, I wonder if the truck was programed for the standard 23 gallon tank on the lesser trims instead of the 26 gal standard in the Limited?

thats exactly what i think happened with mine, its in the shop now, the laramie is supposed to have a 26 tank and even after running out of gas it only held about 22 gallons, something is def off

You ran it all the way out?

Mine goes to full but within a few miles, you can tell it has moved off of full.

Check your build sheet. Usually eTorque comes with 23 gallon tank unless ordered with 26 or 33, or some earlier builds came 26 standard.

my dealer service tech said it should have 26, dont see where it would say on build sheet

Not only does my fuel gauge peg on the full mark, but I recently drove past the Low Fuel message to the point where Distance To Empty went to zero and put 31.265 gallons into a 33 gallon tank.

Mine always seems to have lots more fuel left than the gauge shows. I get the low fuel warning and then can only fit 26-28 gallons in the 33 gallon tank so I guess my low fuel warning comes on anywhere from 5-7 gallons left in the tank.

whats the most you have ever been able to put in, anything close to 23 gallons?

I believe the most I have ever put in the tank was around 29 gallons and that was with the low fuel light and zero miles to empty showing.

lucky

I've ran it down to what I thought was on fumes and I've only put in 22.xxx gallons on my "26" gal tank. I get the feeling my truck didn't come with the 26 gal that's supposed to be standard...

 

[Roddog2220]

im taking mine to the dealer on fumes and telling them to fill it up, when it only holds 20 gallons they can then explain to me wtf is going on

Same with mine is this common ?

 

[Ramit2019]

I filled up the other day it says full I go look at the guage and it’s at full but doesn’t go past full like every other vehicle I’ve owned I drive like 25km the guage moves I let it idle and within a few minutes the DTE goes back up to full

I asked the dealer and they said everything is working perfectly normal doesn’t make any sense

I figured I asked I have a 2019 bighorn

I think these are all soft ware glitches. I hope FCA takes the them seriously and fixes them.

I agree with you let’s see what FCA has to say can we tag them in this maybe they can get a recall done on it or something would be great
