IMAG1126.jpg I just noticed something, anyone know if all the gauges are supposed to rest on the red line when the vehicle is off? I wonder if the temp gauge stepper has had it.

Replaced my tire pressure sensors. Had the originals from '05, 11 years isn't a bad run out of them.

It was pretty pain free. I found a local self-serve shop with a tire machine I could use. Pushed the bead down and out of the way, replaced the sensors, then programmed them. No need for special tools to program, it's the same procedure as rotating your tires

Key on, parking brake on, cycle the lights between off and parking-lamps until the car honks at you w/ a blinking TPMS indicator. Either let air out or put air in the LF tire until the car honks at you, then continue around in a clockwise manner. Turn the key off when you're done, adjust tire pressures to spec and you're set to go.

What does it do when you turn your key to run?
I haven't gotten that far yet. Truck's fuel pump took a dump so it doesn't run. With the gauge out, the other gauges are on the orange lines except for the temp, it's now on almost 210. I don't think it was like that yesterday when I picked it up. IMAG1107.jpg

I ask because I've had them do some weird stuff when I disconnect them from power before. If everything zeroes out properly when you turn the key on I honestly wouldn't sweat it

No, it should be at the 160 mark when powered off. that's weird it went up by itself without power

They do weird stuff when diconnected.. the speedo in my truck jumps to 120+ when u disconnect the battery. As soon as you hit 20 or 30mph it goes back to normal. U won't know what's what until it's plugged in and truck is running. Your probably ok. Not all my gauges go back to zero all the time when the trucks off but they work.
