Don't know about 1 but 2 and 3 I know.

2. The gas gauge is very strange. There is an update to the fuel gauge but I'm not sure it will change anything. From what I read online, a few complaints that people ran out of gas cause the low fuel light came on very late. So now it appears to come on at 2gallons left(mine is a 2002). Considering our tank is only 17 gallons or so, that's way to early to come on(IMHO). Also if you park on a hill, the light will come on and stay on even though you have more than 2 gallons until you shut the truck off. It appears we have to live with this fault. :(

3. Yes my gas cap does not fit the holder either. My guess is that in 94(the first of this style truck), they used a gas cap that fit the holder, then after a while(maybe when they changed to plastic type gas tank?), the cap changed. Since the truck is being replaced by the new model, I assume it was too much trouble(aka $$) to redesign this. And they wonder why GM gets a bad rap! ;)

FYI, I've been averaging a little under 12MPG but mostly very short city driving(best tank was almost 18 all highway). I have 1500 miles now which means I'm only driving about 500 miles a month! That will go up cause I've sold my 89 Trooper so back to a two car family now(plus a Motorcycle).

Have fun with your Crew!
