On my way home I noticed that my trans temp gauge was not working. Also I tried to shift to manual, no lites or gear selection showed on dash, also noticed that Tow/haul would lite up but was not working. After I got home shut her off and then re-started everything was fine. It's been working and have had no problems since. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be watching for a problem?
 
if it happens again i would worry. sometimes weird stuff happens on these stupid trucks. how are the batteries? if there old or a little low it could be a reason.
 
I'm guessing the batteries are fine, being it's a 3 year old truck. How many miles? If it's within the 3yr/36k, take it to the stealer and have it checked out. Might have thrown a body code, and those don't generally throw a light.
 
The trucks got 50,000 miles on it. Just came out of the blue. No lite came on. It has'nt happened again. The batteries are fine. Would a tech 2 find a body code?
 
Hopefully it was just a hiccup. I've had a few of those with all 3 of my HDs. None have ever been there more than once.

Yes a Tech II would. It's the "Official" GM computer they use.

You might try a autoparts store first as some will ready a code for free.
 
if it set a code. however i have found it is more likely than not to not have anything stored. sometimes the "logic" thats programmed into the computers just goes bonkers and acts weird. i would not worry.

Thanks for the input, so far everything has been fine.

Mike, I don't know if you got my PM, but yes I know Henry, and will be seeing him at Norwalk race in Oct. Some of his UK buddies are coming in for the race.
