Help make my mind up: Trans Swap/Rebuild

[SayBye]

My neighbor, literally next door has a t5 from a 92 s10 that I just found out about today. Issue is, pulse speedo. What are my options for getting an electric speedo in my truck? Has anyone used the pulse speedo t5 and also swapped their speedometer?

So that 1992 S10 T5 will be a NWC unit. It will have either a 0.72 or a 0.86 OD gear. The 0.72 is the better choice.

It can at some future time be converted to a cable speedo by swapping an S10 tail housing that has a cable speedo connection.

To get your speedo working again for pulse (VSS) output units, you can
1. Buy modern gauges
2. Use a GPS instead
3. Cable-X conversion box

Some modern gauge sets are very expensive, so watch your budget before you jump in that direction. Nice thing is that you can just use a GPS until you save th money needed to go modern gauges or tail housing swap.
A recent thread showing gauges is HERE.

Here's a digital gauge I saw last fall at the Charlotte Auto Fair that looks like an original gauge when the power is off.
