[V8] V8 Maiden Voyage

[Ron Wainwright]

Did your gas & coolant gauges stop as well?
 But could be the sensor on the driver side inner
CV/trans flange. Is there any oily crud there ect? 
Could be an instrument cluster problem with the board.
The 3.6's still had instrament cluster issues. My
wife's was possessed & I put a 4.2 board in there...no
issues for round 6months now.
