    Could have gotten a new truck but that's cool

    The speedo cable is a bit of a trick to get plugged back into the back of the cluster

    Shop down the street from me, that's all they do, custom and restore dash clusters and speedo cables

    That's the sensor that says if it's in park reverse neutral or drive

    Hello all

    I noticed a hairline crack in my top tank in the radiator, I plan on getting a koyorad radiator off yotashop.com and oem top/lower hoses and clamps

    That being said, I've been running green full concentrate after my first 100k miles since I've had my truck, now that I'm changing these parts out, should I go back to pink oem antifreeze?

    Update

    Just changed out the neutral safety switch, which was bad and the seal behind it, all gear lights light up on dash and no more transmission fluid leak behind NSS
