Hi all!
First post
I have a 91 truck with the 3.O L
Sometimes, especially in the mornings, and colder weather, my speedo wants to rattle some.
Anyone have this probem, and is there an easy fix?
Thanks

Most likely got a sticky speedo wire.
Take the wire speedo cable off, and pump it full of WD-40.
If you still got a problem, it might be the speedo wire gears.
You can tell if the gears are crunched when you keep accellerating, but the speedo stays steady at a certain speed...wiggling.

Could you give me a little detail on how to lube the speedo.
Don't want to mess anything up.
Thanks Bud!

Take the gauge assembly out, then unscrew the speedo wire out the back. You cannot miss it...it's big and fat, and screwed in right behind the speedo gauge.
Just keep filling it til it doesn't accept anymore!

hmm...unless they changed something from 91 to 92, the speedo is electronic, not cable driven. If its rattling, it might be loose (but it screws into plastic)http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubb/confused.gif

the 91 is cable then they switch over to electronic in 92. BUt anyway ive got a good one for u my speedo is eratic. some times it will basicly say im doing around double of the speed im actually doin. does anyone know what could be wrong. i know its not in the tranny cuz that was rebuilt after it started. it is cable operated
