I have a 2000 chevrolet old body style with the 5.7. The fuel gauge flip flops back and fourth, what would be the problem and where is cheapest place to find the part? thanks

Probably needs the level sensor in the tank. Really would have to do a gauge check on it to verify, but its a pretty common problem with the sensor.

You have to buy the pump and all to fix the problem don't you

Some of them you can get seperate. You would have to check with who you want to get the part from. I usually just replace the whole unit, had a few cases of taking the module out of the tank, then the pump stops working from messing with it.
