Temperature, gas, and speedometer not working. Amp and oil gauges working. Blinkers work sometimes.

Have a mechanic to see if you have a bad dash, they are digital and do that. They can be rebuilt in order to work again.

Yes, very common for the stepper motors to fail in them. GM got a bad batch of them. A good scan tool like a shop has can sweep each gauge to see if the issue is the drive motor or elsewhere.
There are many places that rebuild these dash units. You can even get kits online to DIY the job but unless you know how to deal with the electrical parts it may be more than you want to try.
