Once I got the wiring spool piece at the diff installed and connected it to the end of the harness, I ran the car around and the speedo would come on intermittently. The issue wound up being the quick connect connection...although it appeared that the connections were solid, it apparently was not. We ended up hardwiring it and it works fine now. There is not alot of extra slack in the harness wire, so make sure you only cut/strip once I have no ideas on the fuel gauge, but I would check the quick connects at the fuel tank to the harness....it could be the same issue.

I also also have the diff joints leaking a bit...still happening after a year. I just tighten them up from time to time. All bolts appear tight, but still get the drip. I guess its just par for the course
