I was driving Herman today and noticed the amp meter seemed to be reading a little high. But since I had just drained the battery on accident I figured it was due to it getting recharged. Normal reading was dead center of the ammeter or slightly positive, with fluctuations if I had the blinker on. My Oil pressure gage usually reads about 60-75% but it is between the gradiants so I think that is ok. Although today after i had the engine warm the oil pressure would fall below half when I was idling at a stop light etc.

Which begged the question, where should the meters be for normal driving conditions??? Where do yours sit? Sorry I'm at work so I can't post any photos but for clarification please post up your gage cluster if it isn't stock. Thanks!
 
Do you have the normal 80 alternator? It shouldn't fluctuate with just the blinkers on. I have the tundra alt and my meter reads about 13v. Temp gauge reads dead middle(isn't accurate) but my OBII reader says it runs ~190F. My oil pressure is the same.
