    Does anyone know of a good way to support the cable that pulls the gear selector on the steering column / dash? The plastic piece that holds the wire broke off. I tried JB weld to hold the plastic piece that broke off, and it wasn't strong enough. Could you screw in a small bolt to let the...

    I bought 2 gallons of 383 green CGI paint from Rapco to paint the humvee myself, but I changed my mind about painting it myself. Maaco said they could do it for $450. He said he’d have to ask a manager about using my paint, but ensured me they use Sherwin Williams and can match the color...

    Orange Shift Indicator disconnected. Any tricks to fix it?

    The little orange plastic piece that points to what gear the transmission is in is sitting just to the left of the Park "P" above the steering column. Is there a trick to fix it, or do you just pull the instrument panel and put it back in? Thanks in advance.
