computer reset while driving?
first off truck is running good 300miles since it happened.
I was driving @ moderate highway speeds 55-60 unloaded fairly steady throttle, suddenly the radio shut off so as we all do when something different is notice I checked all gauges. immediately I saw the gauges drop then run all the way over then back to normal. same as when the gauge check from the odometer thingy. engine was running fine durring this gauge "flash" then about 2mins later it did it again. none since, after the second one I ran through all the SGII values alll were in normal range.
is this a sign if things to come? I continued with my run an additional 200 miles w/np's. The next morning I did a chaffing check and found nothing.
thanks again guys!

thanks cheezit!
I dont remember if the wait light was on or not. I did an imeadiate code check, no codes read. I check codes for the next 20 miles or so about every min as well. I have been debating on some harness replacements guess ill start there. no problem to warrant me wanting to do so, just trying to be preventative.
