I went to replace my dash lights today. All was well until i found out nothing was mentioned about the gear indcator STRING (seriously it's string). So my truck is in P and it's actually inbetween R and N; it's great.

Something so simple became a PITA, bulb broke in a socket, truck kept rolling back...F...U...N...

It looks like it has a slot to slide in, but i cant really move it (the guages) too far because im scared i'll snap the string. I like knowing what gear im in. I'll go fidget with it some more i guess. IM just wanting to know if anyone has a tip, trick, pic, or any idea of how this thing slide into the gauges.

 

there is an adjustment wheel under the dash to recenter the gear indicator needle. its a pain to reach but its under there.

this requires no dash pieces to be removed, just reach under and its to the right of the steering column.

 

Its this thing. Top center not the thing that my fingers are holding.

 

Sweet. Thanks Zabeard & Malydeen.

I got the piece that actually goes into the gauges to go back. It's a tight PITA spot to work on.

My next truck will have twin sticks lol.
