Anyone have this problem?

Maybe check for a crook earth , loose , corroded, connection

Thanks for your response. I took out the gauge cluster, checked all the connections, relays, fuses, etc. I even changed the battery terminals. The only code that showed up was about a possible brake light switch (which works). I am going to try a plugging in a working gauge cluster, maybe it's buggered? If that doesn't work maybe check the chassis ground. So strange that it won't fix itself until you actually drive the truck a few hundred meters, like its related to maybe a faulty speed sensor or sending unit?

hi, any remedy to this issue?

Connect your drivers side seatbelt to the buckle and the gauges should come back to life. I had this for a while until a toyota technician told me about this trick.
