gangsterchicken7 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) OK well i got the speedo from Packie88. ah...screw it i'm not going into the whole deal. But i got the speedo cable installed, cluster put back into place and everything hooked up. I take it for a test run to make sure it works and sure enough it does...YAY. Then i look again...grr...it won't go back down. It just stays at the highest MPH i got too. Any ideas of wtf is going on now? *note....i just thought of this. I didn't use the cluster he sent me, his must be an manual tranny, mine auto. Anyway, i took the needle off "his" and put it on mine. I'm guessing this could be part of the problem also? IDK...just seem like the speedo cable doesn't do backwards. Edited May 15, 2008 by gangsterchicken7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 your cogs are misaligned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsterchicken7 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Are you talking about where the speedo and speedo cable connect? If so it's a VERY high possibility. I'll have to check that tomorrow when i get home from work. Thanks Just wondering, would it go up and not come back down if this was the problem?

88pathoffroad Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Make sure the needle isn't touching the face of the gauges? If it's bent slightly it could stick when it touches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsterchicken7 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 It is touching the face but it goes up without any problem. And i tap on the cluster or bang on the dash it goes back down. Like i said i'll try to see if they are aligned and then let ya know if that was the problem. Hope it stops raining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncidentalOffroader Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 ok well this is what i just found out. THe speedo goes up. Doesn't come back down. But when i put it in reverse it does......so wtf does that mean? lol It's always something with this truck. It really sounds like the needle is binding against the gauge's face.

gangsterchicken7 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 ok let me go try something quick. idk if i'll work or not. but it might help out just enough to let me know if that is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsterchicken7 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 ok idk. I'm really thinking about gathering my car and the pathy up this weekend and trading them in. I'm just sick of all the lil stupid @!*%. One thing after another. Not saying that i won't have that with another vehicle but at least i'll have a more solid base. IDK yet, we'll see how the dice fall. Basically(sry for the rant), the cluster won't work at all now. I tried putting a straw around the needle and nothing. Took it off now it won't work at all. Pulled the cluster apart(which was prolly a mistake, but too late) checked out everything, looked fine. Put it all back together and still nothing. Im just overall frustrated.

gangsterchicken7 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) Fixed. Took some time to sit back and breath. Got everything lined up, took a lighter and got the needle to bend back a bit and the damn thing is working fine now. Thanks to all who put there input in Edited May 19, 2008 by gangsterchicken7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
