Mine work now.
I used a couple of the threads here to go through and replace all the bulbs, clean all the contacts, and paint the back of the gauge cluster to make it more visible at night. Almost half of my bulbs were blown, so I'd be willing to bet some of yours are too. I had several more...
I can't think of many vehicles I would rather be in while getting hit by a drunk Neon.
Glad that no one was hurt, this could have been a lot worse. As said before, she's lucky she didn't hit you head on.
You make a good point. I was indeed a little confused by reading this thread. :cookoo: I thought that the: Napa# 7-01860-1 (SME line) with the 5/16'' studs rated at 200Amps was correct due to the information below:
I just want to make sure I get the correct part. So to clarify: I...
I have been putting this off for a while now. It's been tough for me to replace what's not yet broken in favor of a part off a lawn mower. In any event, it seems to be good PM with positive results.

Very nice indeed.
Need a cover for the Slave connection, particularly if still hooked up. Wished I had a reciever hitch, still got some work to do there. Do you have under pics of your hitch?
Replaced front cracked windshield, and upgraded to a sliding rear glass for the summer. Replaced a damaged rear bumper. Plugged the holes in the top of the cab from where it had a light bar in the Ga Forestry. Located the gun racks, need to install those.
I agree. Mine's been a great truck so far, but I would prefer the original paint that is now covered in white. Thanks Georgia Forestry Service! :-D Being white does help it blend in. I find people looking a little closer and longer before they realize it's a 1008.
Welcome! You have come to the right place. Be sure to check out all the literature, Manuals, that are available here.

My wait light along with most of the bulbs in my dash were blown. There were a couple of really good articles on how to remove, and replace dash bulbs.
