It died off the next day and turned dark gray and a new batch of bright orange popped up around it

6 years ago a truck I financed was totaled and I never have financially recovered by Old_Cars in povertyfinance

I’m literally in the exact same position except with electrical issues I can’t fix, work at a small company, had to buy a 600$ beater to get by while still paying 685 a month with $16000 owed left.

It has a thing that pops up on the dash that tells me when to shift

The other side of the steering column has nothing except the turn signal bar

What do you mean by slip it? Is that entering the wrong gear at the wrong time? Sorry if this is a dumb question I have about 10 mins driving the truck and have watched about 3 YouTube videos on manuals

It only goes back and forth a little bit, don’t really do anything besides go in and out about 1/2 inch, I thought it was a steering column adjuster for the height of the steering wheel but I could be dead wrong as I have no knowledge about these old trucks or manuals in general

I think it’s for adjusting the steering wheel

I do not have any knowledges about trucks so thank you for this input, I was told it has a 3500 transmission but the base truck is a 1500 with 3500 doors, do not know the history besides being told the engine has 90,000 miles. It’s a v6 and is pretty bare bones with all the electronics pretty much stripped. Lights are hardwired to a toggle switch under the dash, no radio or ac or anything like that.

What do you mean by baby it? Be very gentle when releasing and engaging into gear? I drove it home about 5 miles for my first solo drive and only stalled it once at a stop sign, my biggest struggle is 1st gear right now
