What about the other guages? My Alt. guage doesn't work either. Can someone recommend a honest rebuild service? Thanks, Bert

I took the well intended recommendation from someone here to use Scott Speedometer. He was very expensive and had to do it twice. It still isn't right but usable. There was a two week turnaround each time I sent it to him plus extra shipping cost. After I got into this deal I discovered a shop 50 miles away that could have done the job. Many speedo shops also repair the other gages too. Good luck.

All seems to work. I guess that would be a "qualified OK" as I have only been around the block 7 times (3.5 total miles) and a maximum of 5 mph. The trick is holding all of them little number wheels and the small gears in between all together while inserting the shaft and little stop rings. One needs 3 very tiny hands and nimble fingers, but it can be done. The finish on the odometer numbers is very thin so be careful when cleaning them | | |

As for the Alt. gauge, you dont need an altimeter reading in your truck anyway, I would advise against getting any 'air' in the truck they arent made for landings. ;-) | | |
