Try a hard reboot. Disconnect the battery for 30 minutes. It may or may not work but it's cheap to try.

I have a 1997 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 with 260,000 miles. Yesterday I started the truck and found the tachometer, odometer and speedometer not working. The transmission indicator line was dark. I assumed it was a fuse. I drove down the street and attempted to ascend a hill only to discover the truck was lacking the power to climb the hill efficiently. It quite literally barely made it up. Any ideas?

When I first crank my 04 sierra the temp gauge works fine, goes up to about 190 because of driving home. After 30 seconds the gauge drops to zero. Anyone have any ideas I have a V8 5.3L

#173 of 186 1994 with cranking problem by therockatmsu

Jun 15, 2010 (8:29 am)

I have a 1994 4X4 with a 5.7 350. It cranks and runs fine for the first cranking of the day or if it has been sitting several hours and cooled off. When I run the truck and get it to normal operating temperature then turn it off for a few then try to crank it again, it will start up then go dead. I can do this a couple of times and it cranks. Once cranked it runs fine. I can cut the AC off and it seems to crank easier also. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

HELLO THEROCKATMSU,
 
I CAN'T BE 100% SURE, BUT THIS SOUNDS LIKE A VAPOR LOCK TO ME. HAVE YOU
CHANGED OUT THE ORIGINAL GAS CAP, OR HAVE YOU TAKEN OUT OR REMOVED
THE VACUUM LINES THAT RUN TO THE CANISTER IN THE BACK LEFT HAND CORNER
OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT? IT RECEIVES THE FUMES FROM THE CARB AND GAS
TANK TO KEEP IT FROM DEVELOPING A VAPOR LOCK. I WOULD LOOK INTO THESE 2
THINGS FIRST AND HOPEFULLY IT FIXES THE PROBLEM. IF NOT, LET ME KNOW, AND
I'LL THINK A LITTLE DEEPER ON THIS. (SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO REPLY)
 
THANKS,
CLESLIE2006

Curious if you ever found out the cause or fix to this issue? I am having the exact same problem with my 99 Sivlerado 1500 4x4.

Not sure if you have found your problem, but, your fule pump is about to go out!
 
We had the exact same issues. Replace your fuel pump and your gauges will return to nomral and the power will be back.
