I now have my build complete after 6 months of down time all is working well... Well MOST everything anyways. My gauge cluster is acting up. The gauges slowly climb over about a week my volt gauge will b claiming 19 an fuel will be straight to the right. trans slowly goes up also.. Tac an speedo always perfect. I rebuilt my cluster thinking that was my issue but that did not fix it. i wonder maybe a ground problem? Any help appreciated!

Had the same problem on my 2003, I got a new one from the dealership, then it started again,now i sent it out to get rebuilt, then i had my mechanic tell me my fuel sensor in the tank was bad,changed that, well then it started to climb again after time. so i rebuilt it myself,worked for a little while then started to climb again, so i reset the needles while it was still plugged into the harness and so far so good. Don’t know why these gauges keep doing this,

Just to get this straight, your gauges are accurate but they just take a long time to make it to where they should be? Sounds like the stepper motors in your gauge cluster. If your are handy with a soldering iron you can replace them yourself for cheap. If you don't have experience soldering on a circuit board I would have someone else do it. Most kits will also come with replacement light bulbs for the cluster as well. If you go this route be sure to order the x27 motors, they are the newest and best version.
