OK, is there a buffer or signal conditioner for the fuel gauge?

I replaced the sending unit in the Tank after it went bad, I also checked inside the tank and the baffles are there and in place. But the gauge on the dash is not steady. It will slosh around with the gas to the tune of a 1/4 tank mark. It is accurate in the reading as is steady when the truck is not moving. Roll down the road and watch the gauge swing with the fuel. I have never seen this in any gauge. Any Ideas were to look.

My 95 does the same thing, but is solid with a fuller tank of fuel going down a straight freeway. Get on the curves and it does the 1/4 tank shake.

Mine will swing up and down when braking or accel. sometimes a 1/4 tank depending on severity of braking.
