Post Fuel Guage blip???????

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this.......

I have a 2011 6.7litre, it has about 10,000 miles on it. I did the DPF delete and H&S XRT stock program (lowest) on it about 4000 miles ago.

Today while driving with a completely full tank, my low fuel chime sounded and I saw the guage reading totally empty. I stopped to ensure there was no leak and cycled the power in the truck a few times which didn't make a difference. After driving a bit more, the fuel level came back up to 75% and then went back down to zero a few times.

It has been seasonably mild and damp but today it turned subfreezing again.

My questions are:
1. Could this be a deliberate or malfuntioning programing issue with either H&S or factory Dodge......ie a step in any break-in features?
2. Are there opinions that I might have a mechanical defect?
3. Could this trigger any "limp" or safe mode that makes the engine run different?

As always, your input is appreciated.

Sounds like a poor electrical connection or ground. If it were me I would completely fill the tank to ensure that it really is not almost empty, I would also add some fuel conditioner. If the fuel gauge is reading low or almost empty your remote starter will not work. It will start but shut down very soon after.
