The Chevrolet “F” Fuel Motor Aircore replacement is finally here. Buy our 1995-2002 Chevy GMC GM Fuel Gauge Air Core Stepper Motor (F) Replacement
These motors are incredibly easy to swap out and calibrate without disturbing any of the other gauges. Bouncy and inaccurate fuel gauge no more. These motors fit many GM products including RV’s, campers, heavy duty trucks, semis, box trucks, and all consumer grade GM, GMC, Chevy trucks from 1995-1999.
Many GM products between 1999 and 2002 used the “C” type stepper motor for the fuel gauge. The “F” and “C” will not interchange. Please double check if you have a newer year to ensure you are ordering the correct motor.
Why Replace Your GM “F” Style Air-Core Stepper Motor?
If you’re driving a GM, GMC, or Chevy vehicle from 1995–1999 and your fuel gauge reads erratically or bounces unpredictably, the problem likely lies in the original yellow “F” style air-core stepper motor. These motors—once engineered for durability—have since been discontinued, leaving many owners searching for a modern replacement. That’s where our new electronic “F” style air-core stepper motor comes in.
Brand-New “F” Style Air-Core Stepper Motor: Built for 1995–1999 GM Vehicles
In response to owner frustrations and supply shortages, Tanin Auto Electronix has teamed up with a manufacturer to bring you a brand-new, electronic replacement for the GM “F” style stepper motor. Specifically designed to mimic the original fit and function, our replacement offers a direct, reliable upgrade for your fuel gauge.
Key benefits include:
- Effortless installation without disassembling other gauges
- Accurate, stable fuel readings—no more bouncing or erratic needle behavior
- Engineered to fit a broad range of applications—from RVs and campers to heavy-duty trucks and semis, as well as standard GM, GMC, and Chevy models from 1995 through 1999 Tanin Auto Electronix
Compatibility Check: Don’t Mix “F” and “C” Motors
A critical point to note: starting around 1999 and extending into 2002, GM transitioned to the “C” style air-core stepper motor for their fuel gauges. The two types—“F” and “C”—are not interchangeable, meaning using the wrong style will result in improper function or physical incompatibility. Always confirm your vehicle’s make, model year, and gauge cluster to select the correct part. Tanin Auto Electronix
