Reproduction speedometers

[blue 72 gmc 4x4]

What do you guys think of the repro speedos? Are they any good? My original one made a ton of noise so I took one from a parts truck and now its doin the same thing. I'm going to clean it and re-lube it but if that dont work I'm throwin it away!!!! I appreciate any input!!

I dont know about new ones, but the noise usually comes from the cable? It sounds like a hampster running in wheel? Take out the inner cable from the outter sheathing clean and re grease it and I bet the noise goes away?
Hope this helps

Cool..if it turns out mine is messed up Im getting a new one! Yea I had something like that happen when I ordered new window regulators from LMC. The gears stripped out on it when I rolled it up, so I called them up and they sent me a new one no problem.

my speedo started making the noise greased the cable and the speedo still made noise and then broke a week later,i think its just hit and miss with the the aftermarket gauges. i replace all mine when i did the restore
