I searched the Speedhut website but, was unsuccessful so hopefully, someone here can help. As you can see in the photo it would appear I'm missing something on the GPS wire or guage. Thinking GPS wire, some sort of locking nut?
As always your help is appreciated thanks in advance!

Yea, that cable should have a nut on it. Maybe more, I don't have one in front of me. But something is clearly missing. The connection on the gauge itself is OK. Give Speedhut a call and I'm sure they'll straighten it out.
Yep - Your antenna cable should have an SMA connector on the end. Looks like yours didn't get fully assembled.
I agree with Paul that Speedhut will likely take care of it, but if they don't or you just want to get another antenna, they are cheap.

Your photo is a snap-in connector (MCX). You want an SMA. Speedhut sells both.

Stillwater, that explains it. I have the MCX onnector and need the SMA. Will make it easier to discuss on the phone. Love you truck build by the way. Thanks for taking the time to help me.
