I don't know how else to describe it but as "lazy". There's power to the speedometer/temperature/fuel portion of the dashboard, but nothing else in the cab has power, including the interior light. Usually, even when full, the fuel gauge usually shows about 1/4 tank, and the temperature sits around the same on the gauge. Occasionally while driving, they'll both start up to the level they should be at, but very soon drop back to the low positions.

I've checked all the fuses, and they all are fine, so am at a loss where the power is being "distributed from" and why there doesnt seem to be enough to the interior of the cab.

Thanks in advance

In addition to the suggestions in the comments, the symptoms described can also be due to lack of electrical power. This includes:

  • excessive voltage drop

    so the charging system works but something like excessive wire resistance is consuming power

  • a malfunctioning alternator

    which doesn't supply the required electrical power
