My fuel gaugewill not read properly. I have a 99 4x4 4dr so it has the 30 gallon tank. When i do the math at lets say half a tank, my math tells me it should be up at the 3/4 mark. What could cause this? I have replaced the fuel pump about a year ago.

Never trust a chevy fuel gauge. Mine dances but is accurate right before you start the truck.

what math?
Haha. Thats a chevy fuel gauge for ya... Ill fill mine up then i can put about 2 more gallons in the tank. It takes 180-200 miles for it to get to the 3/4 mark. Then its about 100 miles to half tank, then i usually get 50-75 out of the half to 1/4 mark. If i remember correctly i was reading a GM website that a GM mechanic was posting on. He said, "You can drop the fuel tank and replace the fuel pump and the float system at the same time and will fix your problem." I personally think its the float system that is messed up.

some of it has to do with it being in a long length 30 gallon tank and the angle of incidence of that specific vehicle's suspension. but improvements in the fuel pump module have been made to.

If im not mistaken its a sealed unit. With pump and sending unit for fuel level all in one.
