BucketTrucker688 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Speedometer works & the odometer flat out quit working. The pin for the speedometer jumps about 5mph of where its suppose to be. Can this be fixed or do ii need to start at 0mi again with a new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex g Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I had speedo problem too where it jumped I ended up replacing. I'm not sure how to fix but for the effort it's probably easier to replace Sent from my SM-G386W using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Generally easier to replace the speedometer the drive unit is most likely worn, no re builders around any more. Also lube the speedometer cable before re assembling, just don't over lube it.

BucketTrucker688 Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 While we are talking cables, does any one know what the proper black plastic adapter that comes with a new cable is to use, I believe the adapter for the speedometer is OK in my truck but I have a feeling my tach cable has the wrong one as my hours on the hour meter never add up...seems like its well behind.
