So the cable is out, easy enough. What type of lube did you use? I’ve had some conflicting info from O’Reilly’s. They have a dry graphite lube and then an oil based graphite lube from Dorman.

Nice. I’d like to do this one day. Looks like a lot of work. Do mine sharing what your all on cost of parts and total time?

After removing the dash and cluster for a thorough cleaning, I saw the bus bar ground above the parking brake. Besides providing a ground for the wiring harness, is this just available for other accessories that might need a ground? There wasn’t anything connected to it in addition to the...

As soon as I get the speedo gear in place and confirm the odometer and speedo are working, I can figure out how far I can go before it being an issue. I’m a little worried about the fuel tank and potential sludge from 35 years of buildup. The tank is far down the list right now.

I was looking at the ISSPRO gauge you recommended in another thread. Those were $120. I found some AutoMeter gauges for around $50-60 on Amazon. Is that a good brand?

Thanks. I’m going to add oil pressure, water temp, trans temp, and a volt gauge. I think I’d like to move the dummy lights to the right of the cluster where the volt meter would be. Currently the mounting plate is missing on that side (came that way). I’ve seen some smaller indicator lights...

Update: I got the headlights, brake lights, and both turn signals working. Turn signal was just a bad switch behind the steering wheel. That was a PITA to change. But, it also fixed the brake lights being out. The dimmer low/high switch had dirty/corroded pins. Cleaned them off with some...

I bought the yellow gear and hoping just to get it working for now. I’ve got other issues to address before tires. Currently have 15” rims and would like to put a good set of tires for everyday use and occasional off road.

Thanks. I just wasn’t sure if I had to pull the entire cable off the truck to get the inner cable back in. I order the new gear and lube off Amazon and hopefully I can get this done next week.

Can this be done without completely removing the cable housing from the truck? Or is it too hard to snake the inner cable back through with it mounted on the truck?

Gotcha...so since it's there, I should replace the gear with the stripped out square hole?

You lost me at "rewind the resistor wire". If it's a sending unit issue, is that in the tank? Wouldn't replacing the sending unit be the easiest fix? I currently can't check my mileage cause I'm also dealing with a non-operating speedometer.....

I pulled apart the little housing with the metal gears and cleaned it up. There was some light brown grease left inside that was clean so I used it to lube up the gears when I put it back together. I'd rather fix it permanently than use foil. I just want to make sure that's all I need before...

I didn't see another gear other than the large one inside the transfer case. See attached pictures. Also, I didn't see a second gear in the TM-20P (attached as well). I think I'm missing parts 5 and 6.

I topped the truck off with diesel because I'm concerned about the accuracy of the fuel gauge. It was at about 3/4 full and after I filled it up, the gauge it just reads way past full. The indicator is about a 1/2 a tank past full. Is this a sending unit issue or is the gauge messed up? Thanks.

I know this has been covered but I couldn't find the answer to my specific issue. My speedo and odometer aren't working. I unplugged where they conned to the transfer case and used a drill to confirm that the speedo works. Next, I pulled the gear from the transfer case and took it apart. It...

Update: I’ve cleaned up electrical connections from the batteries to the slave bar (I think that’s what’s it’s called) and all the connections on both of those bars. I applied an electric grease that was recommended on one of the sticky’s. The WAIT light was staying on amd the truck was...

I’ll know more on the brakes once I get there. For now they work fine for in/out of the garage and down the street and back. update on the driver side alt belt: gates 7575 is the correct size for me. No more screeching! I have the trans pan dropped and going to change filter and add new...

Hey Leo! I have fond memories as a kid visiting Grove during trips to Shanghai La at Grand Lake. My family used to have a condo there. Fun times!

Can’t find any proof of ownership or bill of sale. I have a call in to the local judge about granting a title certificate so I can file for a new title with the state. I’m supposed to call back on Monday. Fingers crossed he grants this or I might be SOL.
