Gauges shot
Hi there,

My gauges gave out, all except the speedometer. Is this something that can be repaired or do I need to replace the whole unit?

Check fuse 8 and 18 in the cab. Those are responsible for powering the instrument cluster.
Remove the driver side kick panel and inspect the ground terminals bolted to the sheet metal at that location. You might find one broken or "stretchy", indicating a broken wire inside the insulation.
