shaky but you get the idea


not a big fan. atleast its the 3M "waterproof" stuff and not bondo


was clean when I gave it to them. somehow most of the crap on it is behind the dash, still tryin to figure that one out.


funny story, i got the truck back at 1:15pm, went to my buddies and loaded it up with asphalt to go to the dump, dump wouldnt take it so we offloaded it, and then at 2:45 I was blasting through the Speedbowls dirt (READ VERY DUSTY) parking lot. lol ooopssss

brian, when you split the guage cluster apart to clean it, polish the clear part and it will look better than new.

oh i plan on doing that, after the truck gets back from the bodyshop...again. im just not too enthused about having to take the dash apart. i wish i had a factory tach to put in so i wouldnt have to take the dash apart twice, but w/e.

Brian,
Static got it in there behind the bezel.
I had this issue because I'm often so dusty from work.

FWIW, I picked up a nice tach cluster for my truck when my voltmeter went out.
It was only $12 on Ebay.
It cost me more in new bulbs (I checked the Mylar circuity and replaced them all before I installed it)

Holiday???

I took the day off because I'd only have a half day after my doggie volunteer duty and it's a 45 minute drive down county to install windows, facia and soffits.
Uggg, there's nothing more fun than standing on a plank right under the drip line of a roof trying to get productive with water running down your neck.

I was about to ask "what holiday", but then I remembered that you are a mass-hole so it must be that ridiculous Patriot Day that you folks get off
