Did you ever get it fixed?
I finally got around to doing this fix for myself. I found a buddy of mine who was comfortable soldering on circuit boards. I ordered the stepper motor for the speedometer, then when he had time for it, I pulled the speedometer out and brought it to him. He installed the stepper motor and then when it was ready, I put it all back together and got it working… I tried the method Scott mentions for reinstalling the gauge needles but it didn’t work the first time, I had to pull them off and reset them a few times before I got them all where they needed to be, not sure if there’s an exact method for this but eventually I got it all working again It’s been 3 weeks now and no issues speedometer works everytime .
Oh as a side note for anyone trying this don’t forget to make a note or take a picture of where your gas tank gauge is at. I had no idea so I had to go fill up the tank and reset the needle again just for the gas gauge so that I knew for sure it was turning on to the right spot.
While it’s great to have this fixed now, I do have 33” tires, so even though the speedometer is working again it’s not totally accurate because of the lift and the larger tire size.. maybe someday I’ll try the speed-o-healer. But I’m happy enough it’s working again.
