Interesting problem- update please help For the past 3 days my car has been going crazy my gauges are freaking out abs inop light brake light long story short my dash looks like a Christmas tree. The tach and speedo will fluctuate randomly they seem to have a mind of its own. Fuel gauge and alt gauge sweep off and on. I tried to post a video on here to show but I'm posting from my phone. Any help would be great

Sounds like a short, when was the last time you were under the hood working? Did you accidentally loosen a wire and not tighten it back?
Unplug the battery for 30 min, reconnect and see if the problem still exists. if so then do a wire rung and see which one is faulty.

Last install was the ls6 intake, problem seemed to spawn out of no where. I have heard possible a grounding issue but I don't know where the block grounds are located

There is a sensor on the tail of the tranny that could have gone bad or is going bad. Pull it out, spray it with some electric cleaner and plug it back in. I would do it with the battery disconected for 30 minutes and then hook it all back up.
I still think you have a ground or wire that is loosely connected and it is giving intermitent signals.

As strange as It sounds I found it. My primary wire running from my battery to the starter was of course old and brittle. The sheathing around the wire in places cracked and came off I went out at night and saw the wire arching off of the ac compressor changed the wire and poof no more issues thanks for the help. I went crazy checking every wire for hours to find it gladly it got late and I saw it
