p0460 code

My fuel gauge has been inconsistent for month's. Sometimes it indicates a full tank when I know there is only a 1/2 tank. This morning while at a stop light I heard the low fuel tone, the fuel light was on and the gauge indicated empty.
I shut the truck off then started, know its completely full.

Pulled a code p0460. I looked it up several times but it all goes back to the 6.0.
Any ideas before I start looking into what my 2003 7.3 might share with a 2003 6.0.
Thank you JPC

Here are the four probable causes of the Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Malfunction code, in no particular order.

1: Open/short circuit
2: Cluster
3: Tank unit
4: Open case GND

When you dropped/raised your tank, did the wires get tugged? I agree with above, that it may well be the sender unit but I would test/check others first, since it doesn't cost anything.
