Hello to all you minitruck'z The reason ive created this thread is because ive done a few hours of searching and found shhh on it. I was wondering how many of you have this certain lil piece on top your steering wheel column? The reason i ask is because i havent seen none on any of the trucks i seen in person,so i would like to know if any of you can tell me further more info on it? Granted yess i know it tells you when your on different gears drive,reverse ect..but i want to know if theres maybe a alternative part to this or what kind of led light it has cause it does have one its just not that bright
They are only in the 84-88's with automatic transmissions I am almost certain. You won't see them in the 4 or 5 speed trucks with manual transmissions. 22R88
Might be hard to find stuff on this. It's from a automatic trans. Most our trucks are 4 or 5 speed. Maybe you can buy a small l.e.d. Kit and do your lighting kit or something.
Sooo am assuming all of you have manual transmission? And is there anything that can be done to them?
Look on eBay for small LED lighting kits. Might me able to do it yourself. Doubt anyone makes anything for that just because an auto trans is really rare. Probably 99% of people on here have a manual trans
By any chance do you know if there is anything that can be done to it like a custom look,change it, am just curious cause like i said before ive never seen it on other trucks.
You just made my day bro when you said that auto tranny is really rare. This truck of mine has a few parts that i havent seen on other trucks. In fact am new to the whole mini truck world,am use to the import cars and this is my firsr project truck so am trying to get familiar with some parts and stuff and this piece were talking about is one that i havent seen so far
Yeah that's for the column shift automatics only. If it still works great. You can prob change the light color with some LEDs like mentioned. Autos aren't very common on the 4 cyl trucks. The V6 trucks and 4runners it was more common.
Mmmm now theres something i didnt know bro, i figure there would be alot auto tranny as much as there's manuals ones. That just motivates me to fix this up nicely and yeah it still works nice
My buddy has a 91 auto 4 cyl 2wd so they aren't exactly rare. Id day it was probably 1/5 had autos. Maybe 1/10.
Go to Radio Shack and buy a black box and they also come in grey.. get some pc board and put some led's that you can run wires too and you will have a box with colorful LED's if you just have to have one.
