    sounds like the alternator might be overcharging. Check your voltage at the alternator with the truck at idle. Should be around 14 volts.

    Im having that problem now. And the only thing I did was shut the truck off. About 2 hours later when out and started it and the gages don't work. All the fuse are good and none are missing.
    Does anybody got any advice?

    Did you figure your trucks issue out? I know this is an old post but now my truck is doing the same. Only guages that work is air pressure. Also a/c not work or fan for motor. Any help to resolve would be greatly appreciated

    I wish mine were that simple I had to end up replacing the light bar. Just posting incase anyone else comes up with same issue. That was my solution
