Aidan Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 So I'm 98% sure that my Speedo cable is busted, the needle on the speedometer was shaking a bit since I bought the truck. I replaced the cluster (I had idiot lights) and it seemed to shake less until it completely stopped the trip, Speedo and mileage. I looked on the tranny and pulled the cluster again and it seemed to be connected securely on both ends. Am I just a noob and missing something obvious or is the cable toast?

ComancheKid45 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Did you have it removed at the transmission/transfer case end at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 No i only disconnected it on the cluster end, never touched the tranny side Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 After fighting with it more this morning I know it's gonna be the cable itself, has anyone had any luck with the cables on Rock Auto? I'm not sure if it matters between auto/manual and AWD/RWDSent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 The length of the cable will depend on whether you have 4wd or 2wd. A 4wd needs a longer cable (attaches to the tcase). Also, if you have cruise control, the top end (by the cluster) will have different ends. Since yours is RWD, you should get the short cable.

Aidan Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 I checked Rock Auto and I'm really confused lol. Does anyone have a PN for a 2WD non cruise Speedo cable ?Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13 Legion Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I’m not sure what year your truck is. I have an 87 RWD No cruise. I ordered one from RockAuto. Not sure if you’ve removed your old cable yet. If you do the part number is printed on the cable, closer to the cluster. The attachment to cluster is different depending on year I believe. Mine has a clip that you squeeze in order to attach. This is the one I ordered. Works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Mine is an 88RWD, mine has the same clip on the cluster side to squeeze. Ty for the replies everyone, I'll be (wallet permitting) ordering and replacing my shot Speedo cable soon!Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
