Bill,
Thanks for the detailed and most prompt response.

Regarding the chum-chum talk:
I sort of agree that the one-on-one chat about off-topics can be 
bothersome, however, we must not exclude the one-on-one Q/A sessions.  It 
is these sessions that may help others with techinical problems they might 
have otherwise overlooked.

Here's a picture of one that I took out of a rebuilt cluster that I am
waiting to put in.

Yep!


Make sure that you have not got the sender and IGN wires mixied up...it's
awful hard to see on that gauge frame. Here's another pic showing the
correct locations

To the list:

Sorry if anyone feels this is inappropriate to send to the list.  My $0.02
is that if we start privating everything on the list pretty soon the list
will be useless. I know that many times I have learned the answers to
something I wanted to know by reading posts that were dealing with someone
elses questions.  In some cases they did not even pertain to my model of
truck. I'll hush now. :)
