maxbaby Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 yesterday the truck was driven two hours from home, and a strange thing happened... the odometer and trip meter stopped working, and yet the speedometer was working the whole time. Today everything seems to be working fine. I was wondering if anyone else has had such a problem?... and what could that be? (... and if I was a real cheap sheister, I'd let it happen that way so that when I sold the truck, it'd have lower mileage... ;0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 When it's happened to me, it was due to the grease in the odometer mechanism getting dried out and thick - like library paste. I diluted it a bit and it was fine for several more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdpathy Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The speedometer Needle on mine has warped so it is very slow to get up to speed (Kind of slows the car down a little) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxbaby Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Yeah, but in my case, it's not the speedometer... that works fine... it's the odometer and tripmeter that stopped working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I hear quite often about those going out. It seems to be a weak point in the gauges. You may have to swap gauges to get it working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxbaby Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Could someone tell me if the speedometer is cable-driven or is it an electronic sensor transmitted to the speedometer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 On a 94 it's electronic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
