Temp and fuel gauge problems are common on these trucks and are usually isolated issues. The temp gauge problem is usually corrosion on the sensor, just clean the contact and it will work. Fuel gauge problems are usually a float that has sunk. check the circuit first though before you go dropping the tank or lifting the bed.
