    You don't have to take the speedometer needle off or remove the circuit board. I was able to take the entire center cluster unit and just rotate the odometer drive motor CLOCKWISE to remove it after lifting up on the white plastic tab holding it in place. After pressing the new gear on, it goes back in easily with a short twist COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.

    Just finished doing this about 10 min ago on my 96 B2300. Made it to 235,000+ miles. The only downside is paying $36 to buy it at a local auto parts store, total ripoff since I wasn't about to drive it longer while waiting for one to be shipped.

  • @robertcollins224
    @robertcollins224 3 года назад +2

    I'd like you to know that you went about removing the odometer cluster from the gauge panel. I guess you clipped out the parts where you pulled the needles off the odometer and speedometer. The odometer motor simply turns a quarter turn counterclockwise off of some clips and comes out by itself. You do not need to take out any screws

      You can replace the whole cluster, but if you want to roll the miles on the new one, you're going to pretty much have to take your new cluster apart like this and do 90 per cent of this process anyway

      Reinstall the needle pointing at the speed of the engine when it's running. Meaning if engine is running at 900rpm, reinstall the needle pointing at 900rpm.

      Yes you can,BUT it,the tach/cluster needs to be from a 4 cylinder truck. It will not read correctly if from a 3.0 or a 4.0.

    Hello, I followed all the steps shown, but when everything was reinstalled, the speedometer was showing "35mph" when not moving. I then adjusted the needle how you showed to correct if this was to happen and it went down to about "22mph" when the vehicle was not moving. Do I keep adjusting it or do I need to do something else?

      @everydayirace  4 года назад +3

      Pull the glass out of the gauge cluster, enable gps on your phone, drive on a straight road at 40mph, install needle at 40mph, make sure road is empty and use common sense. If you have a scanner that reads vehicle speed, you can jack rear of the truck and accomplish the same thing with truck not moving.

      Sounds like a bad connection or weak tach servo motor. My truck had a lose connector between the engine harness and cab harness, I had to disconnect it, clean it, spray electrical grease and connect it back up, the connector on my 95 ranger was right by clutch pedal.
