Responsible side says you have to "man up" and help out on the mortgage. Gearhead side says steering column!!!! You can live in the storage unit for a few days!!! You have only been at Britt's a couple of weeks, ask if she minds pro-rating your first payment and get the column also. She may work with you on that, Britt is cool and that sounds fair.

She gave me the two options because she didnt get me anything for Christmas and she said when u find what u want let me know how much it is and ill write a check but it has to be under 300$ I paid part of her mortgage on the 1st cause she pays bi monthly.

WILL THIS WORK???

[77chris03]

bump....someone please shed some light on my question...i need to know

[rob32472]

No you do not have to use it...... it is a good idea from a safety standpoint........ trucks with manual trans do not have them.....

[77chris03]

what about reverse....how do i hook it up so i have a signal?

[77chris03]

anyone????

[77chris03]

i did finally get the lines to the master to proportioning valve done...yay!! finally...will post a pic as soon as my phone charges...

[77chris03]

heres what i have in mind so i can get the column i found....someone point me in the right direction if im wrong....first of course get the column....mark the column and cut a hole (same dimensions as stock column) weld a tab to the shaft inside the column and mount the nss to the column the same way it would if it was stock.....

This sounds right to me. fyi though...you'll need a wiring adapter for the plug

notice that plug in the link is a long straight rectangle. Ours are half moon shaped...there is an adapter (about $15) that connects the two...

oh..!!!! i now what you're talking about...lol i like to solder...so if i can find the ends i will strip and install new terminals to the wires and use the factory connector...that how i did every other one...ya its a pain in the ass, but it looks 10 times better when its a factory connector... what about the nss connector? do i need to find a 4 speed nss?

[VA72C10]

not sure on the nss w/ 4spd...maybe someone else will chime in...

[El Campo]

Or you could do like I plan on doing and cutting both end off and putting Deutsch connectors on. Be better and more reliable than the factory one and personally I think they look way cooler.
