Speedometer cable - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Austin C10 · 12-17-2005, 02:18 PM

My speedometer on my 72 Cheyenne is about 10mph too fast and the cable is making alot of racket. I'd like to start repairing this situation by replacing the cable and seeing if that will calibrate the speedometer.

How do I determine the length to make an advance purchase (i.e. buy it before removing the old)? Should I just remove the old one and measure it?

Also, I have the Haynes repair manual, but there are no details about replacing the cable. Does anyone have instructions/advice?

Thanks
