Howdy folks... a little update, not sure if it works or not:

I took the cable off the back, and rode around the neighborhood, it was turning like a champ.

I took the cluster out, check out the speedometer and I found something to slide in there so I could turn it from the back... I could turn it so many times, then it would bind up a bit and I could feel and hear a click. Hmnn.

I took it apart further and eyeballed it, put a dab of grease on the moving bits, plastic gears... spun it some more, somewhere in there it stopped clicking and turned nicely, no more of that click.

I dunno if that solved it or not yet tho', but the odometer was turning past the |9.

I have the cluster back in, but of course I broke something else while taking it out... old trucks are fun.

Now I have to plug it all back up and get it sorted out.

Thanks for the tips folks.

If this doesn't work, I guess I'll have to buy one.
