I been looking for one single issue that could stop all the gauges from working, small print is kinda hard read and takes time, gotta read it all with magnifying glass!

Anyway about the only thing could do it is a bad ground, did you check all the grounds.

How about the one right at the battery itself, smaller gauge black wire from the negative battery post to the inner fender, you replaced the battery, you sure its there and is clean and tight?

You need that ground from the battery to the fender, it may or may not have one from the motor to the cab, regardless it still needs that ground in place.

Make sure its there if not connect it and see if it helps.
