Default fuel guage problem

when i bought the truck the guage said 1/8 tank left when really it was full. i bought one of them cheap $15 universal senders and put it in the tank with a matching autometer fuel level guage to go with it. it has worked for awhile but never accurate, i think the diesel took its toll on it finaly because it is constantkly on full now. what has everyone done to solve this issue on their truck
