The dash guage is where the fuel gauge is looking, which may or may not be where the fuel is being drawn from. There's a switch on the dash that moves the fuel gauge back and forth.
As you know, the lever on the floor is what controls where the fuel is being drawn from.
You'll appreciate the following quote from Robert Heinlein -

Look at lindsey97's avatar pic for articulation of the stock rear suspension. The mod you suggest would remove much of this capability....

Pull the tires in how? Changing axles? Chopping up axles?
Dualled 14.00s is bridge truck wheels or equivalent. You're not just a little bit over the 102" legal max. At that point you're way over. Someone measured, and going from memory it was something like 115".
Looks like the m998 with a GVWR of 7700lbs is explicitly permitted to be street titled and registered whether or not the paperwork was stamped "off road".

Well worth a mention that steel and aluminum should be insulated from each other.
Edit to add - now that i think about it I have stainless steel nuts in contact with the...
I removed and painted the light buckets, replaced a bunch of hardware with stainless, scritched and repainted access doors, grilleguard, hood hold downs, and replaced the rear hood seal and related hardware.
A lot more work than I thought it was going to be.
Before, and then several after...
I have 16.00s on two of my trucks. I like them.
But one of the trucks is an M925 with an unmodified NH250 that serves mostly as a toy and not loaded heavy. Even in this usage the loss of low end acceleration was pronounced.
The other one is an M818 that has had a turbo added to the NH250...
Preference for 6.5 GEP variant. Otherwise no preference between 6.2 and 6.5.
In general, choose any truck based on overall condition before looking at trivial differences like NA 6.2 to NA 6.5.
