As the subject says...My fuel gauge isn't working property on my gauge cluster. When it reaches 1/4 away from empty, it's already empty and the gas light is on? I know the cluster is working properly, cause I swapped it out 2 times on 2 different gauge clusters. Did this ever happen to anyone else? Is there something I should look for? sensors? fuses? Any help would be appreciated....

yep - a big dent in the bottom of your fuel tank. Or as I've seen before one of the sender units inside the tank is getting stuck (which can be caused by a dent in the tank). The units are under the rear seats. But before pulling them, first short the sender wire (at the sender) to ground to make sure everything else (gauge) works ok.

if you have a GST you have one sender....If you have a GSX there are 2 senders. So for the GSX guys it is a crap shoot sometimes which one is bad
