I as going to do that next. I just bought this truck and the wiring is a mess under the dash. But that said I hooked up a second Gauge directly to the battery and got the same result.

You mention changing gauges, but have you changed the sending unit? In my experience the sending unit is the piece that sees the thermal cycles and goes bad. The gauges, provided the wiring is sound and ground is good, last lots longer.

I have changed it twice and the guy before at least once.
I am seriously considering Mech gauges.
