Gauge with moisture ?

I guess the speedo assembly isn't sealed ? Kind of strange that it wasn't in all the 3 sections, and just the center.

No water in the truck, this morning, at least on the floor. Maybe it's elsewhere? Eventually with the heat on, it dissipated.

Oh, well.

No seals in the gauge cluster that I've seen anyway. In fact, if I remember correctly, they all share the same lens (they're not sealed between the groups of gauges).

You could add some silicone to the mating surfaces between the lens and cluster housing. Although, there are other ways the moisture could fine its way into the housing.

I've seen that before on my beasts. If the humidity is high...or just cold...and the truck has sat for a few days and not run.
