[Shop-talk] Oil-pressure gauge goes nuts on Suburban.

[Jeff Scarbrough]

I'm going to cast my vote for a short somewhere...

2004 Chevrolet Suburban.  Picked up my truck after it had been sitting out
in the 11-degree-F cold for a while.  Started OK.  The oil-pressure gauge
was pegged WAY past the end.  Stopped the truck after it was warm and went
into a store.  Came out and turned on the ignition.  Needle went to full
scale.  Started the engine and needle went to full-on pegged again.  Stayed
that way until I shut it off in the garage.  Needle went to zero.  Ignition
on, back to full scale.  Restart engine, back to superpeg again.

All the other gauges seem to be acting normally.

Anybody else ever seen anything like this?
