First, you really need to use punctuation. Your posts are really hard to read and interpret. Second, what is the gauge doing or not doing. Is the needle swinging all over the place or does it just never move? You need to tell us what the issue is.

I don't know what your problem is, but I'm going to say stepper.

My guess would be the sending unit. They are a known point of failure due to poor design. Normally if it is the stepper motor it will swing all over the place and stop in weird places.

By the sounds of it, one of two things, either the fuel level sensor is shot, or the gauge is not working, which in terms means the cluster assembly. Try running some "fuel treatment plus" (you can get this from your local GM dealership) let it cycle through with the guestimated amount of fuel in the tank and see if it will maybe free up any sort of contaminants that could be causing the fuel gauge reading incorrectly.
