The speedometer does not seem to be reading right. It read slow at slower speeds (5-30 mph), but by the time it gets to 45 mph it is pretty much on. I checked the speeds against a GPS, plus I can just tell at slower speeds its not reading right. Any ideas? | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Posibly the cable is sticking/binding.

Needle does not jump or bounce. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Then most likely the problem is in the speedo head itself. I really can't give you too much info on what could be making read wrong. I did have a similar problem, reading low,then pegging at higher speeds, ended up replacing the speedo head with one from a different truck.
