Re: Anyone know instrument gauge problems 88 Pickup?
The temperature gauge stays exactly where it was when the truck was running last, or it's supposed to, untill the key is on. When you turn it on it should drop (if the engine is cold) and while you are cranking it should peg all the way to hot. Oil pressure stay the same with the key off too, until it is started, but it doesn't peg like the other one does. I would first make sure that you have oil pressure with a manual gauge under the hood and then I would test the sending unit. Gauges are tricky to change in these, but you can usually find them a dime a dozen on ebay. Most of the time it is cheaper to buy the whole cluster (speedo, and all) than just the gauge, and then you will have more gauges if your others fail.
