Gas gauge works fine. This is with the truck off and the key off but still in the ignition.

could it be that the residual power is holding the gauges to 0 and as the voltage drops to nothing they go to a position where they would be if they were completely disconnected?
It does this when the security light is NOT blinking, truck is off, and key out of ignition.
If you turn teh volume up you will hear a click before the gauges move.

Great oil pressure at ''off''. I'm leaning towards you needing a new instrument cluster. Seeing as you have an '04, you're prolly gonna need to go to a dealership and have install one. You have to do this because, they need to be programmed '03 and up.

Yeah that is weird. I would think new cluster also.

Even if you do get one at the dealership, only corporate HQ can do the work on the clusters. The one in my '04 'Burban stripped the gears. The stealership had it for two weeks (and we had a crappy Montana rental from Enterprise RAC) while they sent the cluster back to Detroit (or where ever) to get it fixed. They said they were not allow to touch the things other than to pull them out. It was all covered under warranty, but it still sucked not having the vehicle.

my cluster has a weird problem too. i had just got the guages replaced due to a recall and they didnt last a 1,000 miles and when i would turn the truck off the info center would light up and start shuffling through the languages, erasing my mileage, or just lighting up my mileage. now its got to the point where it shuffles through languages while im driving and will jump my trip miles up and down and i will have no control over whats going on. pisses me off because i took it back to the dealership and they tell me its out of warranty when its one of their defects thats supposed to be fixed. not really making any sense.

My gauges have moved after the key is off since day one. Everything has worked perfect for over 100k miles. Gauges always go to zero with key on and work perfect while driving. It takes about a minute for mine to move after the key is off.
