the gauges on my 98 E-150 act up after about 5 mins... It starts by the oil pressure slowly rising then it gets past the red and shoots down and the temp and batt guage shhots up and stays that way. The van runs fine the whole time.

Hi sounds like you have a connection loose in the back of the cluster. unplug the connecters and plug them back in if this does not help then i would suspect a bcm prob[ body control module]
