I'm looking for an Inclinometer / Tilt Sensor that will take a 5V DC
input and give a 0-5V output, help! please?

The AD and ST accelerometer chips will do this. You may beed to amplify and offset the output to get
a full range when measuring tild, and do some trig/lookups to convert to angle.
I think AD have an apnote on it

Amy, most practical offset measurement methods make use of the gain of the amplifier to amplify the offset, so that it is a couple orders of magnitude larger at the output. ...
