Well like some of you, my speedometer sticks and or doesnt work sometimes. Went to work yesturday and before I put it in drive, it read 40 mph. Then on the freeway, going with flow of traffic (70mph), it read 120 mph. So in the morning I stopped by the dealer and the service rep said he seen a few of these. They told me that they had to remove the cluster to get the part number and get one to their shop. Said it will be done today.

So I guess there isnt a wait/backorder on the clusters anymore.

LATER!

You're lucky - Mine showed slow and I ended up with a 83 in a 75 ticket in Colorado while I was on vacation.

Is the tach screwed up also? Went many miles in my '85 S-15 without
a speedo ... the tach was nearly as good.

Had only owned it for a week previous to that so I really didn't notice normal tach readings for speeds - not to mention I'm not used to 75mph, everything out here is 55-65 tops.
