speedo cable

I just got a new cable for a K-20 from Brothers and there ain't no way it will reach the way the old one did. The original went up the firewall and tru to the inst. cluster. They insist it is the right one. I ambringing it up under the trans hump and then to the gage cluster. Thisworks. Anyone else know anything about this subject? any experiences?

Re: speedo cable

Take the one you just got and go to any parts store to match it up. I just bought a new one and it's about 12" longer than my stock 2 wheel drive was.
I bought mine at Auto Zone with the housing too!

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: speedo cable

I have no idea what they sent. They insist that it is the right one for 4x4
