I have a few problems on my "new" truck

First the tilt column is really sloppy, it looks as if there used to be a pin or something there and it broke/fell out so they put in a screw and it is now broken....is there a fix for this? Where do I get parts?

The speedo goes to 32 mph as soon as the key is turned on but it works from there on out...like it thinks 32 = 0 mph. Any ideas?

The fuel gauge doesn't work although it does move around alot like it thinks it is working.

Cab clearence lights don't work, I am checking the bulbs today.

The a/c doesn't seem to work and when you go to a spot (any of the a/c spots and the defrost spot) that uses the compressor the warning panel lights all come on...i.e. wait to start, brake, etc.

I am sure I can find somemore issues all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
