So now that I polished my gauges and connected my speedo I can actually see how fast I'm driving.
Today it occurred to me while taking my truck for a little drive that the odometer isn't moving.
I guess I'll be pulling the whole cluster out after all. I'm just curious about two things:
1) Anyone seen this? Is it normally fixable? I'm guessing one of the little gears is either broken or slid out of alignment.
2) Aftermarket gauges? Since it's a 74 I have a giant gauge just for my fuel level and, of course, no RPM. Also a whole gauge dedicated to a brake light.
It has an oil line running to it if that matters. I'm not sure if that means I'll probably need to add a sending unit for that(?).
Anyone recommend a good/cheap alternative to this? I'm already fighting dash blinker lights and shifting indicators (which I've seen are integrated with some). Maybe it would be good to just replace the whole cluster.
