    Yes you just send me the gauges and I will mod them and return them. I guess Sockmonkey figgured out you can drive without the cluster. I'm not sure what works and doesnt without it. did your signals work sock?

    I will post up a How to this weekend to show how to remove and replace your gauges and post it up on my website.

    Mine came on in my '06 a few months back, to it to my local mechanic (dad) & his electrical guy found a sensor of sorts in the dash that had failed, required tearing 75% of entire dash a part & replacing a $200 sensor.

    Norcal Roseville, 95661 Once i get the gauges I do the mod the same day and turn them around to you that day. Coming from southern Oregon I doubt it will take long to get here.

    No problem, i let it slide for a week or two and finally gave in. I just checked with my dad & confirmed it was the "clockspring" which trdparts4u.com carries for $208 ($266 MSRP). Here is the diagram of the different sensors for the airbag system...

    Alright, cool. I'd probably expect like 5 days without the gauges then. I'll be sure to let you know when I want to get this done. Id do it now, but I emptied my 'mod money' on some HIDs and the All Pro bumper GBs just a week ago.:eek:

    your scan gauge will not work for gauge cluster items when the gauges are out.
    i was counting on using it as a speedo.

    turn signals DO work.


    it is awfully dark in the cab with no interior light while driving......not even a/c controls light up

    Its near Sacramento. I would drive to LA and do a Day there if there was enough interest. I would say I would need 10+ people to make it worth my while to drive down there.
