Courtney, Check the fuse first for the gage, if blown, replace. The gas tank will probably have to be taken out of vehicle to change the fuel sending unit. 1st Link shows how to test, other links will show replacement procedures.

Will 2002 Ford F-250 super duty 5.4 have anti-slosh module

Yes, it's in the gas tank, attached to the fuel pump/sending unit assembly.

I'm attaching 2 links to videos, tge second is to bypass this module. That'll fix the issue of a non functional gas gauge that always reads empty if you don't mind going that route. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yILXFS8X8pQ

Fuel gauge not working and empty lite is on

Looks like the sensor inside the gas tank is shot! It will need to be replaced. The tank needs to be removed to pull out the sensor and replace it....the empty light will work normally after that!

Fuel gauge reads past full all the time

when the tank is full the resistance is low so the power through the gage make is read full
as the tank empties , the resistance increases so the less current means the gauge reads less until empty there is little or no power , the gauge reads empty
simple check , turn the ignition off, no power , no gauge reading
