ah ha! That makes sense. Now it will run off the factory guage. It aint a racecar, dont need a bunch of guages all around. I got oil/water/amps and fuel, thats all i need.

Ok, so on to the next issue. Apparently the trans is stuck in gear. I dont know if i am looking at it wrong or what, but i cant get it to shift gears by hand. Anybody got a pic of the shift mechanism i can see for reference?

Can you move the shift lever on the trans by hand with the shift linkage disconnected?


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!

Hmmmmm. You should be able to move the lever at the trans pretty easily by hand. You may need to drop the pan and have a look-see in case something is jamming it up.
