F350 speedometer troubles
The speedometer in my 90' F350 displays only about half of the real ground speed...The needle is stable, not bouncing.
What could this be? Were the 90s electric or still cable driven?
thanks, Campbell

I can't say what the problem might be, the cable could be slipping where it goes into the speedo but I haven't had that problem to be sure. But the '90 fords are definitly cable driven.

cgf350 if you have an automatic overdrive tranny you may have an electronic speedo. If you do the sensor is located in the rear axle housing. I have read several posts that deal with metal shavings and dirt building up on the sensor and causing erratic speedometer readings and transmission shifting problems as a result.
