yeah, mine was way off and I just found out that white bracket that holds the adjuster in place broke. The rest of it is very brittle; piece of garbage. $35 to replace? Jeeeeeez. That's almost as bad as $25 for a pack of 10 o-rings for the fuel injectors I was robbed for at the Ford Stealership.

It is there, keep looking. I have a 98 and I just adjusted mine. Can't believe I've been driving around for the past 2 years with it between D and 2. Now its spot on!

Thanks for this invaluable tip!

[quote=Patman03SprCrw;3947764]Are you tired of seeing your pointer in the wrong place, here's a quick fix for you



Look under the dash at the lower side of the steering column and you see this black adjuster



Pinch it and spin it until the pointer is in the correct place

[/QU

ive always wanted to fix this little problem but i never knew how

thanks for the tip man

well being i cant find mine...there has to be another way of adjusting it right? maybe just in a different spot? this would be a great help to me as sometimes when i get in the truck it wont start until i bump the gear shift so it points in the right spot. there has to be an adjustment somewhere...right? lol
