speedo noise

Post by Weedhopper »

How do you lube the round speedo (66)? Mine makes noise and in the cold weather it gets louder. It has a slight bounce to it at all speeds. It is off by about 10mph, but that is because I went from 4.56 to 3.54 in the Dana 60. Any way to lube it, and if so, what do you use? :(

Are you sure it needs to be lubed? Sometimes the cable breaks off at the end and this is the noise that you hear, this will also cause the needle to bounce. If the cable is OK then just add 2 drops of light oil where the cable goes into the back of the speedo. You can correct the speed difference by changing the gear on the trans end of the cable.
