I have a 2004 F-250 v-10 and mine was doing the same thing. I took it in and Ford did replace something in the fuel tank. I haven't had any problems since. I cannot remember what part it was but I will check my paperwork and let you know.

fuel gauge

same problem with my 99 ford super duty v10. had to order fuel pump because fuel level sending unit is part of it. when i took the old one out, i was able to fix it by taking the sending unit apart and bending the contact so it applied more pressure to the veriable resistor.

It was the fuel level sending unit. Fortunately warranty covered it.
