cant find a speedo cable!!


Recommended Posts

I went to oreillys and they gave me one for a 4 Banger that didn't even plug into the cluster... took it back and didn't list one for a I6... so he called the dealer... discontinued... where the crap can I get one? 89 Comanche... 4x4... ax-15... 231... short bed... thanks again!

There is no difference between the 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder speedometers. There IS, however, a difference between the early (thru 86, and maybe part-way into '87) speedo and the '87 thru '90 speedo. The early type has a metal end on the cable that attaches to the speedo head with a screw. The later type has a white nylon end on the cable and it just snaps over the fitting on the speedo head.

Well, the '94 had an electronic speedometer, so it didn't use any cable.

 

Try a different store, with a smarter computer.
