The gas gauge and fuel pump are on two separate circuits tand both go inside the gas tank. The gas gauge usesf a float that moves a resistor according to fuel level. Gas gauges. When you experiewnce the gas gauge not working at all I would look for a disconection external to the tank first. If you cna send six volts from the tank sender to the gauge this should cause the gauge to read. If it does then you know the problem is with the sending unit and it must be removed from the tank to repair or replace.

first you need to find out if its the gauge or sending unit in the tank ,the wireing ext....inspect the wiring for breaks ,check the sending unit (see factory repair manual ) check dash gauge (see also factory repair manual)sometimes the float on the sending unit will get a hole in it and sink the sending unit ...then the gauge will read out as empty

There is a problem with the SRS. Not a DIY repair. Take it to a professional.
it is a 2wheel drive, light duty truck. they quit making them, and replaced it with the Dakota
As long as it is in the normal range (not at either extreme) you should be OK
unbolt it from where it is attached
Upper ball joints need replaced
valve seals. Can be replaced with engine in truck & heads do not have to be removed.
yes..on the side of the fuel pump assembly
Regardless if the hole can be repaired or bypassed, it is not a 'do it yourself' job. The proper assessment of the necessary repair method should be made 'hands on' by an a/c tech you trust.
