The odds of that happening are very rare. Did you: * Look at any corrosion on the circular pin connector harness going to the back of the cluster that is responsible for the VSS? * Open up the cluster and look at the three pin locations that the speedo snaps into the back of the cluster and look for any sign of bad connections? * Put an ohm meter on the pin connection at the harness and the vss to check for a short? * Really really really sure the VSS is working correctly? The reason I question this is certainly to help - but the fact that the replacement speedo only reads to 30 mph seems to indicate a signal issue of some sort. If the speedo has failed could it produce the same result? I guess, but seems very unlikely to me. Strange. I have a spare 90-92 speedo but the odo doesn't work on mine either.

In the case you find your replacement has stripped gears as well, you're welcome to have mine Edited by RavshngOne (August 09th 2012 3:27 am)

draggnastro pooh-bah Registered: May 09th 2006 12:00 pm Posts: 4454 Loc: Springfield, Illinois	gears were stripped on the 2nd one too. Put my speedo back in and the speedo works fine now, the small gear inside the odo is whats bad.

I have a spare 90-92 speedo but the odo doesn't work on mine either. speedo always worked fine. The small gears that feed the odo strip very easily apparently. _________________________ 87 Dodge Ram Van 150- Southeast of Disorder Member Vanatics Van Club-Spfld, IL Member Florida Van Council Member Central Florida Vans,-Orlando, FL
