2003 Duramax fuel gauge problem

Help...
2003 Chevy 2500 Duramax. Fuel gauge is reading empty. Has fuel. Went and added 15 gallons, and needle never moved. Light is on for low fuel, and on display for miles left, it has ---.

Truck has set for about 2 weeks, and when I got in it to go to the track last night, that was what I found. I tried shutting it off a couple of times, but no better. When you turn the key on, needle moves up a very little, but when you crank it, it bounces back to the E line.

The dealer replaced the entire dash a couple of years ago, when the speedo went out. Everything else seems to work fine. On display, the instant economy is still figuring the MPG, etc.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Ken
