f150 shift indicator $10 FIX, 2000 F 150 

lol , yea i know the feeling . A lot of times i use a little bench or a board and something to sit it on . Put it outside by door and lay on that so i am laying flatter and not hanging down . they also make a device to do that . maybe i will make a video showing how i do it

Glad you are back up and running .

Had the same problem thank you for your help and they do sell an aluminum one for 13 dollars on Amazon that takes place of the white plastic piece finally

Did this problem prevent your truck from turning on ?

@@ffffffffffffffstt It did not prevent my truck from starting. It prevented me from understanding where I was in relationship to shifting.

Glad it was helpful!

Nice work!

Right on

they sell it online in metal don't waste your time with another plastic one

Glad it helped

Pretty easy , but a common issue .

It has some rust under it , but not bad for the age .

I do not remember what it looks like , but one can drop the steering column down if needed.

I have the same problem. The black screw plastic that goes through the thumb wheel is cracked and I will need to replace the cable as well and I suppose the selector in the cluster is there any videos for this

The new terminals they use any more are not as good as the old real terminals were

You are very welcome

Happy to help

This was not the cable either , it was the clip holding the cable . but if clip is not broken try adjusting with the little wheel . if that does not work , check for the loose bolts on steering column . Would be my first thoughts

right off hand i can not remember if the 98 f250 has the same set up

Ya the wheel is fine and the cable looks fine. I can twist the wheel and it'll move the indicator but it doesn't change the fact that it will show the incorrect gear when I shift. It'll just change how far off it'll be. It's off to where I can't actually shift in first gear. When I'm in 2 it'll show 1 and I can't go further to put it in 1. I checked the steering column for the bolts thing before and it looks nice and tight. The actual shifter doesn't feel super loose either. I've seen other trucks where it was wobbly and messed up and it's not like that. Someone told me to look by the transmission at the linkage but I wasn't able to spot it. I can see the engine.. but I didn't see the transmission from up top the engine bay, maybe it's underneath or something.

You bet!

Getting back up was the hardest part . Hope all is well up your way

They have it Autozone, Advance...amazon. Avg like $12

i think i put the part number in there , but most any parts store should have it or can get it . i know Amazon should have it also

I can not say for sure , but it very well could be . Best to look it up for your vehicle to be sure . Give the parts store this part number and they can check to be sure it is the same or not . Thanks for stopping in .

it sounds like it reset when battery was unhooked . Really need it hooked up to a scanner and see the live data , to really understand what is going on .

I stell havent found out why it does that let me no if y fine out too thanks Johnny

You're welcome

Thanks for sharing

I will pass that on to the owner . lol Thanks for stopping in and commenting

I am not sure ,

Probably not , but check the two bolts i show in video . that like to come loose and cause issues . Usually can just tighten them up. I am pretty sure i show them.

@@wtbm123 Thank you

If you are on unlevel ground it may be a good idea to set brake or block the wheels

LOL only 19 years , if new one last that long it may be all that is left . lol

Nice

I am not sure . but if you go to the Dorman web site and look for Dorman 83244 , that may be it ,

@@wtbm123 thank you. I got one ordered today.

may also look at , APPERFiT Automatic Transmission Shift Indicator Cable Bracket (METAL) Replaces 83244

Thanks for stopping by .

I thought i put it in the video

Pretty easy fix , hardest part is getting back up from under the dash . lol

thinking 7 mm or was it smaller like a 5mm . but do not remember now

@@wtbm123 yeah I got it. Think it was a 6mm

@@chriscars3224 no it was 5.5mm for me on the explorer though. Definitely not 5 or 6

may be the latches

The part number is in the video and in the description

@@wtbm123 yep i seen that i was on a tablet and could not get it to pull down bu then i figured it out thanks for your hep thought

Yea pretty easy and cheap . Wish they were all so easy

Cool

Hardest part is getting back up after laying under there . lol

It is hard to get in under there . Sometimes i put a board on the car floor and then put the other end of board on a chair, a stool or something and lay on the board . if that makes sense
