Ive searched and i only came up with people who didn't wire the fuel gauge reader correctly.

That is not my issue. My issue is once fuel level gets pass halfway, it will drop to 0 fuel and fluctuated depending on how hard of a turn I'm making or how low of a steep I'm approaching on the road. I asked my shop and they said thats normal with GT500 fuel pumps which i don't agree because before i had everything reinstalled into my car, the fuel pump did not do that. What are some possible fixes for this issue or has anyone ever experienced this problem.

The issue sounds like the float is stuck and once passed halfway full, it won't go lower. Thoghts and opinions appreciated.

There really isnt anything for the float to get stuck on unless its not installed correctly(there is an iternal baffle in the tank and the float sits on the other side of it away from the pump). The board may need cleaned or could be cracked. My board was cracked right at where it read about a 1/3 tank so it would read fine all the way down to a 1/4 then loose signal and drop to zero.
