Thanks a lot! I didn't even think of putting the needles back on when the plastic cover was off and it is plugged in. Right now I am driving with the cover off thinking that I could have just pushed the needle to where it had to be. Well that didn't work. I also know what you're saying about not putting the needles on too far, I had 1 or 2 hang up the first time I put them back on. What is the best thing to remove the needles, a fork? I used a small plastic door panel pry bar back when I pulled them before but maybe a fork would be easier and have better leverage.

A fork works great actually! As I said before. Unplug to take the needles off. Plug in and wait for them to stop twitching. Put them on in the exact place you had them originally. All my small needles were slightly below the low marks on the dash background. MPH is about a 1/4 inch below 10, and rpms needle was slightly above 0. Once the needles are in place, unplug again. Move the needles to mock what they do when driving. Plug back in and the needles should fall to the starting spot just like if you turned your truck off. Test again, following the same steps. If they work properly, button everything back up and enjoy your custom mod.
