im not sure if this was answered, havent used computer to check forum in a while usually on ipod, BUT go in the engine compartment right behind your cluster and check that ground wire. make sure shes clean looken. take her off sand it down and the body where it connects and see what happens. also check the battery terminals too that they are clean
Okay, so I found two green wires that I believe to be the ground. I cleaned them up, but they seem to be in pretty bad shape. Just to make sure I got the right wires, can you be more specific on the exact location of the grounding wires...
Thanks for all the help so far, I really appreciate

I compression checked it (I did it in the dark with a very impatient wife so I reserve the right to be wrong and I'm gonna do it again in the morning) and I got these WACKED numbers.... From the front of the engine back, I got 20,25, less than 10 (possibly nothing), then 50 and 60 then 15. So what the heck do I do now? I mean I'm all ears on any of the above problems.

Big problem !!! so i figured out that i had a leek from my tcase. I think that a breather valve fell out. i couldnt find any bolts that matched up so i think its a breather. on top of that i went through some water and now since the breather is gon i had water in my tcase. any ideas??

Try a Home Depot or Lowes and you can get these fittings with threads on one side and a hose barb on the other. Find the one that fits and then go to the parts store and get some breather hose. All that should run you about 6 bucks. Good luck.
