Anyone interested in a 120mph speedo in their '92-'97 F-Series

I've got a line on some white face gauges for the Lightnings with 120mph speedos and a place that can program the speedo to work with the higher 120mph limit. Anyone interested?

If it was black face gauges like the stocker and could be used on a diesel I'd be interested.

Well I'm actually working on that too. I've got access to some of the faces for the gassers so I'm trying to see if I can find any interest in those first. Then I have another company that I've talked to about making the faces I need for the diesel stuff.

Diesel. (Just a friendly request, not much different, It would just be a different face for the tach.)
Pics?
Ballpark price?
Can they fix the bouncing needle while they're at it?

Yeah like I said I'm ultimately working on it for a diesel s that's what I've got too. The tach is differnt and the fuel guge is differet a it says Unleade instead of Diesel. I'm ultimately working on getting just a black seedo face t retan the fatory look, as well as a complete white faced set for the diesels. Just trying to see if there is any interest in the gas ones that area already available first.

I'm in the same boat as Wes. I'd want it to be black face for a gas truck though.

Are these decal overlays or real plastic replacements.

Wondering the same thing actually. If they are just overlays, the speedo wouldn't even be close to correct. LOL

Tentative Yes...

Black face preferred. These speedos can be reprogrammed from 0-85 to 0-120? If so I would be interested - maybe to the tune of 3 or 4 units if the price is right. Given the demand for the extremely limited number of Lightning clusters that come available I would submit that if such an item as you are describing would have a tremendous sales potential.

It's only a 40% difference.
Kinda like changing from 3.55 to 5.13 gears.
The speedo is easily changed. Ground a wire under dash and drive a mile, ground again, and you're done. Or something like that. I can't remember.

But you need to do your math and figure it out for the different speedo sweep.
