Gauges are Freaking Out!

It all started a few days ago when I was at a red light next to a Suburban that looked like they wanted some, so I stood in it. I beat the Suburban but when my truck shifted all of the gauges went to zero and the Oil Pressure and Low fuel lights came on. They came back up and everything went back to normal but they have been doing it sporadically ever since.

I would check your battery connections.

You will probably find your answer over in the: Super Duty & Heavy Duty - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums Try searching over there and then if you don't find the answer then post your question... with details of your 2000 F250.

Good Luck.
