ax-15 conversion, no more speedometer

[MancheKid86]

did an ax-15 4wd conversion to my 2wd 1988 comanche,

and alas i don't have any more speedometer,

i switched my speedo gear to the stock one,

rotated to the 28 teeth mark,

and still nothing,

could i have stretched the cable to far?

or what would cause this,

 

i would love to know what speed I'm going,

 

thanks for reply in advance :thumbsup:

The 2W cable is too short for the 4W..........my guess is.....(you stretched it?) you pulled it out of the back of the speedo.

The speedo cable doesn't have to be pulled very far to come out of either the back of the the speedo itself or the square hole at the transfer case. I'm not sure about the length of the cable, like lsmurphy says, but seems it'd be pretty easy to grab a 4x4 speedo cable (new or used).

 

When you're installing a new/used cable, make sure it's engaging in the back of the cluster properly. Then givwe yourself enough slack to stab it at the transfer case so you KNOW it's engaged. Good to put a zip tie on it with a proper spring once you have it in place.
