Speedo Cable
OK,
I need a longer cable and housing. I need about 6" more to make it right. The old one is in to much of a bind and it jumps when going slower than 20 MPH. Would like to find one longer. New if possible. Junk truck or car.

Re: Speedo Cable
They had several lengths at Advanced Auto/AutoZone (forgot which one I bought at) when I replaced the one on my 70. I just bought the longest one and it was about 6" or so more that the original cable.

Re: Speedo Cable
just pull out the inner cable, grease it up with white grease as you re-install it and it wont bounce anymore. its DRY......

Re: Speedo Cable
Any speed shop can make you a custom cable.

Re: Speedo Cable
you should not need a custom cable if truck is not modified.

Re: Speedo Cable
speedo attachment on the 700r4 is a little farther back. I had the same problem....just get 4x4 speedo cable...it's a number of inches longer.

Re: Speedo Cable
Thanks guy's, that's the problem SactoJim,
700-R4 has it streched to the limit and it bounces at the lower end. 20 MPH or less. 4x4 cable Kool! BCOWANWHEELS, Done that it helps but it still bounces.
