I noticed a warning that a tire pressure sensor was malfunctioning last night. This morning when I started my truck, it went in reverse just fine, but when I went forward it was very sluggish. I drove it about 1/4 mile and it sort of just shut down but not the engine itself. It was then that I noticed my dash cluster/gauges were not working. I shut the truck off, waited a minute or two and restarted the truck and everything worked just fine with the exception of the tire pressure sensor. I'm assuming this is probably the intermittent warning before I have a bigger problem. Does anyone possibly have ann experience with a similar situation and can share it along with any recommendations to me?
What makes this problem better or worse?
Seems worse with engine cold

Hello, your tire pressure warning is independent of any other concern you are having. It is an isolated situation that requires testing and repair, but is not in any way capable of influencing sluggish vehicle performance and gauge failures.
Diagnostic testing is required for the sluggish performance and gauge failure concerns. Focus on electrical first - battery condition - does it pass testing and is it able to handle holding a load? Is the charging system working properly? I would look at those things as your instrumentation requires solid electrical support.
