I just bought this truck and found that the dash lights do not work as well as the gas gauge. I checked all the fuses, they are good. Any Idea what the problem is?

make sure the dimmer switch is turned up for the dash lights, if ok then you must check the gray wire at the headlight switch for power, if no power then replace headlight swithc. as for the fuel gauge, disconnect sender at gas tank and ground the purple wire and see if the gauge goes to empty, if it does then replace the fuel tank sender unit
