And I cant find another one! I tried using a spring from a writing pen, but it gets too stretched out when the red line moves away from the spring. I cant find anything for this, please help

Try and score the whole indicator from a boneyard. Dead easy to change and can't cost that much second hand. Not much to it.
 






Ok, well, my stupidass broke the cable that connects to the indicator opposite the spring too. So now I have to get a spring, AND the new cable (which is a PITA to take off because its screwed on underneath the dash, really awkward to get to). Im going to check the junkyards tommorow, but I may just pick one up at the dealership. Anyone know how much a new cable costs (I think the part includes the adjuster underneath)

I have an extra indicator and cable.
10.bux plus ship?

Thanks man thats an awesome deal but it would prob take atleast a few days to ship it, and I need to get my truck back together ASAP, I had to reschedule a couple appointments already just because I cant use my truck. Hopefully a junkyard or dealership has one for me tommorow. Thanks again though
