In the past two days, my truck has flashed the "check gauges" light. It stays up for about 30 seconds then goes away. Can someone tell me what I'm suppose to be looking for? I only have 60 miles left on my warranty!! Thanks
Justin

Next time it does it look at the gauges and see what one is causing the light to come on. Then work from there. Might just be a bad sending unit or somthing like that.

Check your oil. I had that problem on my 99. there was an internal oil leak. The dealer had to look at it 2x to find it. The first time it was 3 quarts low just 1,000 miles after the oil change. After adding a quart every other week, they did some other tests and found the leak.

I tried checking the gauges, but I noticed no difference in them. They all looked normal to me. I will check about the oil thing. Thanks
