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!

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