That’s common, that’s why Gruven makes metal replacements for about $90 a pair.

Can't help myself!
I was going to use the motors in my old mirrors, but as usual I couldn't find them in the damn garage. The one I tried with was a spare I just got.

I've been getting the reduced engine power forever. I just keep a cheapie scanner in the Hoe--just to clear the cel. I finally cleaned the driver side grounds, along with adding an extra ground under the hood. I couldn't find a bolt the correct size, so I used one of the bolts that holds the bracket to the alt bracket.

I need to do this. I just had an issue yesterday.. I was driving down a toll road at about 80-85, when my dash gauges just crapped out, and the battery / charge light illuminated. It’s a fairly new optima red top, as well as a new alternator. So do not believe the battery or alternator are the problem. They all came back to life in a couple seconds, but I had a bit of indigestion over it.. I’m thinking grounds.

It's gonna be a wait and see. Hoe doesn't get driven much anymore. Hopefully this'll fix it. Don't get used to that bright thing up above, it's gonna be disappearing again!

I've never had that happen to me while driving, but a few times when starting, the cluster is dead--not very often tho. One time I smacked the dash and it came back, another time I unplugged the cluster, then plugged it back in--that worked--so when it happens again I just drive like that, it eventually comes back. I think someone said there's a ground in the cluster plug that sometimes has issues.
Cool, thanks for the info. Cluster with a trans temp gauge is on the short list already. Haven’t decided if I’m doing LEDs/ color, etc.. yet.
ETA: and I (apparently) have a dead stepper motor for oil pressure as well.. [emoji2959]

Don't feel bad, my oil pressure doesn't work either. Since my cluster was rebuilt awhile ago with the improved stepper motors, I'm hoping it's just the sender.
It might be time to take care of your frame, some undercoating.
Mines 60 at idle too ever since the new oil pump.
Mark thats great, but look at the bright side yours is the only one out of NBS that actually works. LOL
edit.
gauge that is..
@Rocket Man want pump are you running?

Not worried about the frame, that damn passenger side dog leg--after getting the rust fixed, it's bubbling like a mofo now.
