2010 Guages Sweep?
A few weeks ago upgraded to a 2010 4x4 Lariat Supercap. What a difference from my 01 which had a lot of miles.

One thing that I noticed, when starting the truck the guages always sweep to the right then back to the normal operating range. Is this normal on the 2010s? My 01 only did that when the battery was failing, or was run way down.

Thanks in advance

I think I remember reading that it's part of the self-diagnostic check it does of the guages and systems at start-up.

My 09 doesn't... in the past, the sweep typically is the sign of a dying battery...
