Speedometer makes clicking noise.?
 
Sometimes my speedometer makes an annoying clicking noise at my dash, anyone know what would cause this or is it normal?

Anyone know if the 2wd trucks all have the same length cable? I'm just going to replace the cable.
Thanks

I did this and it's still bad, my gauge needle stutters and shakes too. I think I need to replace the cable .

disconnect the cable from the tranny, chuck the end in a drill and see it still makes noise

Your speedo head has started to go bad. It will continue to get worse until the needle starts bouncing all over the place and then won't move at all. Replace your speedo head.

I have experienced a loud ticking noise when I had an exhaust manifold leak, sounds exactly like a ticking speedometer from the drivers seat... can you hear it under the hood?

No its def coming from the speedo. I just got he new cluster from LMC 1200 miles ago, hope it's not the speedo head. Is the speedo head the actual gauge?

Thanks all.

Re: Speedometer makes clicking noise.?
 
I believe the speedo head and gauge (face and needle) are a single unit. Is the LMC unit a remanufactured OEM speedo head, or is it a Chinese repop? Either way, LMC should replace the unit for you in my opinion.
