When I start my truck all the gauges bounce at zero for a few seconds and the radio resets. this doesnt happen all the time either.
Any ideas?

 

Check battery connections, then your cluster module.

 

Would the cluster affect the clock

 

If its affecting clock too, which I believe runs through a separate cluster, then you're likely looking at a battery issue. How old is the battery?

 

I bought the truck used a year ago and haven't changed it. I am going to get battery tested

 

I had a battery issue, tested good when I charged it and drove for a bit but was doing some weird stuff. Edge showed 11 volts after it sat a few days and it would not start. Changed out battery and everything is back to normal. What battery is in your truck? Mine is an '05 STX and it had a Motorcraft BTX-59, which I think was the original battery, and I replaced it with an Interstate MTP-65 which is physically and capacity wise larger than the Motorcraft. $135 is a fairly inexpensive investment as a first step in solving problem, battery that old is at the end of it's life cycle anyway and with a computer based system you need a good electrical power source..

 

Need a new Battery......
