ok i asked my dealer about this and he says it has
nothing to do with the computer he says to fix the
gauge they would have to replace the pinion gear in
the tranny??? well the info from the pinion to the
gage is sent electronicly through the computer (i have
a chrysler corp service manual for my truck right
here) it even says that it has to be hooked to this
DRB scan tool im gonna call the other two dealers and
see if they can tell me something
