Gauges acting funny starting engine

Hey everybody,

My 04 f150 heritage V6 starting acting funny. All five gauges (speedo, fuel, oil, elec, temp) peg to the farthest position when I start the truck up. As soon as they peg, they return to their correct position. The truck runs fine, with no abnormalities. I thought it was strange and wanted to know if it was a sign of something yet to come!!! It doesn't do it all the time, but usually in the morning on first start up. The trucks got about 57500 miles. Any thoughts would help me out! Thanks y'all!

X3, replace it, guaranteed that's what it is. Waiting too long might fry the alternator too.
