awwww cris you were who I had set my goals on I was sure you of all would be able to help me

 

ok so are you talking about the shifter indicator that is on the lower part of the instrument cluster??

 

If so, there is an adjusting wheel where the cable attaches to the steering column. its a black plastic wheel on a white housing......now i have seen TONS of these white housing broken and in turn it wont hold the wheel correctly. look underneath and if its broken then you need to replaced the shifter indicator. if not then just turn the wheel to adjust.

 

Yea, I think will it an auto and it shift by the wheel.... well the lttle organe mark doesn't line up any more and seem to be geting worest..... I've taken it to a few shop and they said it was a cord that needed to be tighten but they want a grip to do it... it sounds like it might not be so hard to do and thought that if I knew what I was looking for it could get it done

 

dude its super easy you can do it yourself trust me. here is a picture i just found. see the red line in the middle of the pic follow that to the black wheel and white housing. inspect that white part and make sure its not broken.....

WOW, that sound and looks to easy and the techs were talking about having to go under the truck and it taking two hours or so.... you don't think there's anything under the truck I should worry about do you?????

 

if you only talking about the orange indicator being off and nothing else....... then no. if you having engagement issues or anything like that, then thats a different ball game.

 

ok thanks as far as I can tell thats all thats wrong I'll try to get to it today and give you an update here soon that's pal
