I'll start by saying i've been having lots of issues. and this is another one. I've done some digging on the forums, and so far as I can tell, its an issue with the cable and not the cluster. I did a visual inspection on the assembly on the transfer case. I have never taken a look down there before so I don't really know what it should be. Opon tinkering with it, the whole assembly is loose, like i can wiggle it around. It is also weeping fluid, Ill provide a video if i can tomorrow. If i cant send a video ill post a image. It should be noted that i've been having the speedometer squeak when its cold, but it goes away when the truck warms up. I was in the great basin on all of those dusty hundred mile long roads. And one morning it decided i was a race car driver. So when I was going 30mph it was reading like 90. Anywho its been kinda on the edge for a while. Like i said on a previous thread, It cut out on I5 when I was going over a pass and the truck got nice and hot. Just want to get some more experienced heads to see if anyone knows whats going on.

If the speedometer started wagging, then went really high, you probably broke your Speedo cable because it needed to be lubricated. Typically lubed with white lithium grease.

Change the o-ring on the speedo gear so it stops leaking gear oil.
