Your CCD network is not communicating to the cluster.
Does the truck run? any other problems?

Some sensors canshort the CCD system.
Try unpluging the crank, cam, tps, map and possibly the trans electrical connectors.
See if that fixes you no BUSS message.
The crank sensor is the most common if it is the cause.

my wrangler used to do this all the time. would read "no buss" and then all gauges would drop as if the jeep was not running. never effected the performance at all. this only happened after it rained...

man mine just did the same thing about five minutes ago. been working on it most of the day tweaking the exhaust( put a 40 flow on it but had it turned down underneath the passenger seat). finished it up and drove it for a while let it set to make sure everyting was okay then i went filled up with gas and ran it threw the wash drove home and just as i was pullin into the driveway my abs went on and lost my speedo then the tach then the odom started blinking then the rest of the gaueges went out and when the odom stopped flashing it reads no bus ive yet to try to drive it with this but it cranks up fine and idles fine. im thinkin the water shorted something out but would it be a sensor or a cluster of wires anyone know?

when the computer (ECM) starts acting like that it usually means that its about shot sometimes it will cause all kinds of goofy stuff..
