fuel gauge stuck on full

[Gom]

Got the truck back yesterday from the mechanic. Had the fuel sensor failure issue.
They replaced the pump and fuel sensor assembly.
I noticed today that the fuel gauge is reading like I topped the tank off which I didn't.
My guess is there should be a little over 1/2 a tank in there if I remember correctly.
When I took it in it was obviously reading nothing because of the malfunction.
Does the gauge need to be reset or anything?
I have looked for this and found videos but it's on trucks with the little push peg ODO reset, nothing for trucks with the steering wheel/display screen thingie.
Any help would be appreciated.

Nothing to reset for the fuel level. If it's reading at the top of the gauge either your mechanic filled the tank or there's a problem with the new fuel sending unit. My guess is the latter, and take it back to the mechanic.

Yep take it back. If they provided the fuel pump it should be under warranty.

maybe it magically produces its own gas and will never go empty again. . no id take it back to mechanic, somethings wrong for sure.

I agree take it back. They probably bent the float if there is one on this type of unit. Or they did not adjust it correctly.

Might be the connector,i think it'll go to full if the connector isn't fully seated and making a good electrical connection.

So the gauge started to move a tiny bit yesterday but I really don't know how much is in there.
This morning, off to take the yellow heathen for a run in the woods and the "check fuel cap" message pops up.
Jeez, this is my second vehicle in the span of a month that they have screwed up. The other vehicle is back there getting fixed again. This one goes back on Monday when I pick that vehicle up and hopefully they don't mess up again.
Either way, time for a new independent mechanic.

You beat me to it ,find a different mechanic/shop.

anyone know if the "check fuel cap" message will self reset once you put on a new gas cap?
I knew it wouldn't fix the problem but I don't want them to have that excuse.

The "Check Fuel Cap" message will reset itself but the cause maybe related to the problem with your recently installed fuel sending module.
The reason why the fuel cap message shows up it the truck detects an air leak within the fuel system.
