From day one i switched my oem fuel pump to gt500 pump, i can't fill the tank full. It always sits one level below full, and fuel cost isn't what i used to pay(less) that means my gauge is working properly?
I read that passenger side unit is providing full to half tank, could the passenger side fuel unit failed?
But, when my cluster says 50 miles to empty, my car starts to slutter like low on fuel or cavitating. My afr gauge also goes crazy.

Do i have to pull my gt500 pump again? It's a real PITA!

Check and make sure the crossover connenction is good in the tank and not kinked or cracked.

You will need to pull the hat about half way out and you will see the line that is coming from the other side of the tank. Then make sure it is connected to the fitting on the hat, which is right above the pumps.

Tried to remove the pump today. I didn't managed to unplug crossfeed connection.
Sure, i've pressed the nipple before pulling, but no way. It won't come out,i was afraid to break something, so i inspected as is. Found nothing
