It's a little slow so I am posting some stuff I have recently done.
Like many others I have problems with my speedo. It bounces all over the place and my odometer stooped working at 100,000 miles, so time to fix it. I pulled it out of the dash and pried it apart ( the hardest part) then I advanced it 1000 miles and played around with the #s a little and now it seems to work, for how long we will see.
As for the bouncing speedo, when I pulled the speedo out I also noticed the wire inside the cable could be pulled out some, so I pulled it back and forth a little and put some oil on it. Now my speedo only bounces a very small amount below 10 mph.
In addition to that I also bolted in the 2 new boxes that I got from Troy Smith. They are slightly different from the normal ones as the cover opens the opposite direction. to anyone who has not seen these they hold 2 to 3 times the amount of Junk that the normal Tuffy boxes hold I can't believe the amount could throw in one and still have space.
