I put my truck into gear and the gear indicater on the dash broke and does not display which gear the truck is in anymore =(
Its still there but is a PITA not have the visual and counting gears.
Was wondering if there is any to fix this problem without spending a small fortune at the dealership.

Its the little orange indicater that moves with the gear shift that I am speaking of which tells you which gear the truck is in PRN12.
It dosent move with the gear shift anymore it has come unhooked or something.
And yes the truck is an automatic =)

They are usually not too bad to repair. Undo the dash panels and steering column cover and you should be able to see the whole deal.

Good luck with it. :)
