Well, that didn't work. Let's try something else!
On the way home on friday, the broco started to sputter like it was dangerously low on gas. The gauge still said full, but I was already suspicious of that. So I stopped at the next gas station and proceeded to put 20 gallons in a 23 gallon tank. So... fuel gauge isn't working. :annoyed:





My buddy needed a part for his 98 Taurus (poor guy), so we drove up to Speedway Auto Salvage and while we were there I went cluster and M5OD hunting. Found both in a 4.0 explorer. Grabbed the cluster and will have to come back for the transmission on my next check. Hopefully nobody grabs it before then. They want $200, so not too bad. I might check with Fenton Auto Salvage and see if they have any for a better price. I think my brother got his 2WD M5OD for $150 there.

After swapping gauges, I read that a gauge stuck on "full" could be a short, so I may have wasted $15 on a cluster. Don't know yet. I guess at least I have a spare now...

Here's a little teaser of what I'm up to until I can find another image host. Photobucket hasn't frozen my account, but I'm sure it won't be long. I've already downloaded all of my albums.

The dash swap thread I was using for reference had all it's pictures change to the extortion picture, but luckily they had good written descriptions, too.
