Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) my little baby is finally here

[Mhannink]

no its not a kid its my new(to me) truck ill try to post a pic but it seems rather large. anyways i flew out to denver picked it up and my cousin and i drove it 1500 miles home to cali w/o a hitch had to use the 4x4 a couple times but other then that no major hassels or problems at all.





i do have a few questions to start off w/ tho 1st one is my blinkers wont blink they will come on but not blink i think its the little fuse am i right or is it something else.



2nd the left headlight works sometimes and other times not is this a loose wire or bad connection, is there anywhere to start looking.



3rd and last that i can think of right now is what gauges macth the stock ones the best.



ill have many more questions later on and when they arise i will post but untill then this is all i have thanks in advanced.

Here's what I do... ... .....



I sit behind the wheel and say.



"Christine, come on baby please... ... everything's the same"



When you hear Dion and the Belmonts singing "I wonder why (I love you like I do)" everything should be ok.

Congratulations on your new (to you) baby. Turn signals should not be a problem, it's either a bulb or a fuse. Remember there are fuses under the hood on the drivers side. The headlights is most likely a loose connection or a faulty bulb. Can't help on the gauges.

On the turn signals I would say the Flasher unit is bad. There are two Flasher units in the Fuse Box in the Dash. One is for the turn signals and the other is for the 4-ways. Switch them and see if the 4-ways just come on and don't blink. On the head light only working some of the time it's probably the bulb.
