[V8] Instrument cluster flakiness

[Bob]

Have you checked the grounds or the connections at the sending units for those gauges? Or the ground for the cluster.

So I've had a problem with the IC for some time and have had no luck in 
seeming to fix it. 

I tried another cluster today and it does the same thing. So I tried a 3rd 
cluster and it also does the same thing. 

The oil pressure gauge goes right to the max pin as soon as I turn on the 
power with the key. 

Other gauges have been acting up as well, so I assumed I knew exactly what 
was going on based on my experience with the 91 5spd. However that cluster 
is different than the later ones. 

Anyway, I'm going to focus on the oil pressure sender now. 

I am writing this to ask if there is some sort of IC controller box like an 
ECU that I might also consider. 

Thanks! 
Ed
