Anyone have an idea? Do I just hook up power ground and I think the purple wire. Fuel level signal wire.

How to wire a fuel gauge - google.com

Besides that, you might want to post up some actual information about your truck if you are looking for specific help.

If it is a 98+, there is always the fuel gauge diagnosis thread in the Tech Article (DIY) section which you have overlooked.

OK than smarty. 99 S10 blazer 4 door 4wd w/auto 4wd. About 300,000 miles. O its blue in color and 2 inch lift kit. Hope that helps with the info. And allI wanted to know is if u could just put a aftermarket fuel gauge causeI don't wanna trace all the wires cause its slowly dieing. And I did look at the diy sticky on fuel and ddidn't answer my questions. I know what's wrong and why I lost all my gauges (fuel temp 4wd and prnd21 )
