I would imagine your gonna get asked for live data. Do you have any way to read the engine?

If the gauge is making a full sweep, all the up and then down, your probably loosing power to the PCM or the ground may be loose... I'd start there. It's on the drivers side fender, put your hands on the side of the truck like you'd lean over to look inside, just under your finger tips is the ground, the other one is on the fire wall about 1 foot in from the hood latch.
