89 Chevy Truck - fixing the broken odometer
HTML-код

- In this video I find the problem with the odometer on my 1989 Chevrolet K1500. It turned out to be a relatively simple fix. Over the years, the plastic gear became brittle and cracked.
I later ordered a new gear.
Dorman part number: 924-396
You can get them on eBay. But search around. You may be able to find them a few bucks cheaper. I just ordered what was quickest.

Check out the other work I have done to my 89 K1500. I put it all in the playlist --->
cool video, easy to understand and straightforward! I have a 1993 Chevy K1500 Suburban and I am in the same process of fixing all the "old truck" things one by one, and on a tight budget. I have a feeling I will be watching many of your well-made tutorials in the future. Thank You!!!
Great video! I have a 1988 Chevy C1500, and I used this video to fix my odometer. If you're super cheap or too busy to visit a junkyard(like me) you might be able to fix your broken gear. I put some epoxy in the crack on my gear, and on the odometer shaft. Slide it on and use a small hose clamp to apply even pressure so as not to break the teeth or crack the gear further. The odometer takes minimal force to rotate, so the epoxy is plenty strong enough. Now I can finally figure out my gas mileage!
Thx Maq for your time to post this, quite informative, going through the same process of odometer woes!
Your content is straight forward and has the details that are important. My tripmeter hasn't worked in years on my 94. I bet it's that coupling! Thanks for the informative videos!
This guy has a voice u can listen to. Actually learned something!
i have a 1990. the odometer reads 109,000. it has approx 750,000 miles on the truck. the rear diff is the only original drive train component left. the odometer has been faulty since it was new. the odometer, door handles/panels and the fuel pumps are the only "bad parts" gm put in these trucks.
I have this truck too. I have gotten most of the trim from the salvage yard and than painted it with the proper paint made for the purpose. Not just any paint will do. It’s a great vehicle. Thanks for the video. You did good.
Good video! That is a nice, clean truck despite the normal wear. I have a 1990 K1500 with some of the issues you're dealing with. Looking forward to the progress on your truck!
Great video, my 89 k1500 has the same problem. I bet it's this gear. Can't wait to finish work and pull it apart haha
I’m a big fan of the half moon white face that comes up behind the “needle.” Something I wish they would have kept, but I understand that the performance of the modern motors demanded a more responsive gauge.
good to see it’s not as difficult as I was thinking but I’m thinking about fixing the broken gear with a solder and a zip tie I’ve used this method before to fix broken tabs on grill and fog lights and it works really good
Thank you for the detailed video.right to the point.and the
Thanks for sharing. My 88 only shows 100. Which is cool if it starts counting soon!
I hate the gauge cluster in the 88-93. It’s actually fairly easy to swap them with a 94-96 needle gauge cluster. Also I picked up some decent bucket seats and had them reupholstered. After picking up a 4L80e I’m on the hunt for a low mileage LS.
Well done video!
Very informative video Thank You
My 88 is doing the same thing. I know where I will start looking!
those trucks were probably the best trucks chevy ever made besides the generation before it. My gpop had an 88 and it was a great truck. I often wonder if it is still around.
Very well done.
