Today I notice my fuel gauge bounching between Full and 45* to the right of full then finally worked back to quarter tank. Is it a loose ground or loose fuel sender?

Mine did that until it stopped working all together. When I got the tank open the float was broken as well as the pipe that lifted the fuel. Needed a new fuel sending unit.

I was thinking that it would be something like that!

Sounds like mine! Been doing it for quite a while...no problems, just annoying. Check your grounds like stated above. I believe there is a small one right on top of the tank/sending unit that goes to the frame.

Depends on the 6.5
Can't hurt to clean the ground by the FSU ... Maybe it will fix it, if not, at least its good.

but checking for a good gnd is much easier than dropping the tank, try that 1st, you could even rig a temporary jumper gnd to see if it got better, but I've been 2 for 2 in truck & burb with (1) bad sending units in each vehicle.
