Hum, the strange thing is when I was putting my transfer case shifter on the clamp that was holding in in the tranny came off and the cable just pulled right out? So I put it back in, not knowing what it was and my speed "o" still works. Thats seems to be way to easy?

There's a hard cable inside the black plastic sheath. Normally the cable does have some kind of clip on the end that must be removed to actually pull the cable out of the sheath, but not always. Sounds like yours didn't have it. No big deal.

You got it already!?
Meant to send you a message, I didn't have the correct length bolts here.
2, 3/8-16x1-1/2" for the bracket, 2 nuts, 2 lock washers.
2, 3/8-16x2" for going into the housing, 2 lock washers.

So it fit ok??

Hey Bro, I have not seen yours yet, I know it arrived today but I have been at work all day. I did not get the shifter on, I was toying around with my old broken one trying to think about what else to do in case the one you sent me did not work . So, thanks for the super speedy shipping, I am off all day tomorrow, I will try to get it on and let you know how it worked. Thanks again.

The speedo is supposed to run off the t-case in 4x4's. You got some strange stuff going on with your truck!
