Ron's SS Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Well to make a story short, I was out shopping, jumped in the truck and sat there with the key "on" but the truck not running. So after a minute or so, I turn the truck on and started off down the road. The first thing I noticed is the truck seemed to be running cold, and running at 0 RPM's, going 0 MPH, with 0 Oil Pressure... I think you get the idea, they weren't working at all, none of the gauges. It really spooked me. I immeditaly pulled over, shut the truck off, and once restarted it was fine and has been so for days. I don't feel like playing dealer run around with the extended warranty. Is there any ideas on what could have caused this? Just a PCM brain fart, or what? A little input would really help, if there is any to offer. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolBlueSS Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Same here. After that my fuel guage started reading all over the place, and my speedo is jumpy sometimes. Come to find out it's little stepper motors on the back of the cluster that go bad. I'm out of warranty so I'm waiting till after Christmas.

smit Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Mine did it one time exactly like you stated. That was 2 years ago. Hasn't done it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron's SS Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Mine did it one time exactly like you stated. That was 2 years ago. Hasn't done it since. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's what I am hoping for. Thanks everyone for the response, I just assume it was a glitch and deal with it when they totally quit working.
