Well, it's not TECHNICALLY the truck....But here goes....

I USED the truck to go and pick up my *New* trailer....And then went to O'Reilly's, picked up a male 4-pin pigtail, and a set of amber reflectors for the trailer....Came home, wired it up, sort of....I apparently have a choice of either: Turn signals and NO tail lights, OR Tail lights, and NO turn signals....W-T-F.....Gotta do some rewiring tomorrow....Oh joy.....

Actually did this last Saturday but forgot to post it. Stripped the worn out T/A's off of my aluminum wheels, mounted up 4 decent used tires and installed them.

IIRC, there's 2 small screws that hold it on...Just be EXTRA careful...they're on the back I think, on each end..

What model is this on?

On the 92-96 era, there are 2 screws that hold the selector panel on, 3 pigtails that connect to each instrument panel, and then there is the tank selector switch wires, the headlight switch wires....I can't remember a cable off the top of my head....

its on a 92, when i said my dash i meant the entire piece, not just the cluster area lol. its the cable that runs behind the cluster ( attached to the actual dash ) and runs down to the transmission. Im sure ill figure it out tomorrow when its daylight, i hate working by droplight lol but if not ill post a picture of it and try to figure it out. It looks like it just pops off the bracket its connected to
