Thaught I might try here first. I bought a 1990 4X4 GMC half ton truck. It is all stock and is in really good shape but the odometer doesn't work. The speed does just not the odometer. It quit working at 114,000 in January. Anybody seen this before? (Jamie)James Ramey. |

Well I had this to happen in my 95 ford that I use to have with an electronic odometer. . . . .and it was just a fuse!!! If it isn't an electronic I'd check the cable where it goes into the transmission and see if the end of it is stripped . . . . If not the cable may be broken or the other end might be stripped where it hooks into the odometer itself. It's hard to diagnose the problem without being there. . . . .sorry!!!! |

james, if the speedometer is working the speed sensor out of the tranny or t-case is working fine. from what you say, there is a small electronic motor on the back of the instrument cluster that is bad. maybe you can find a cluster from a salvage yard and replace the motor. be careful as the plastic on there is very delicate and stuff can break very easy. i have seen many of these go bad. you could try a gm dealership, but i guarantee it will be a ton of money. ask a salvage yard if they have a cluster with damaged or missing gauges to buy that little motor of off. good luck. |

I had an 89 chevy 4x4 that the same thing happened at 254'000! I drove it for 4 years longer and never worried about the miles on it! I was VERY mean to that ole truck and it was a GOOD one!!! I sold it last august and REGRET it every day!!! |

I just bought a 1988 GMC 2500 pickup. it has the 350 small block and a automatic tranny. its only 2 wd but i still want to up the tire size because i cant find mud tires for the stock size 225/75-16 do yall think 31x10x50s would take away to much of my power.. im pretty familiar around cars and motors but not much into gears and such yet im still young. any help would be apperciated. the meatier the tire the more places i can coon hunt  thanks
