Odometer failure
97 E150, the speedometer works fine. However, I notice that the odometer does not reflect the miles driven. I have noticed that it quits advancing at times, both the main and trip odometer. I usually see this at the same .75 miles on the trip meter. Maybe a gear tooth is missing?
Does anyone rebuild these instruments, or should I just put up with it?

I might have an instrument cluster or two fitting your era would use, yours for the cost of shipping only. These could be used to retrieve the odo and trip meter mechanicals. You could also visit a local scrap yard and look for clusters from F- or E-Series vehicles, all very similar and using common parts.
Here's an image showing the sub-assembly that is the odometer and trip meter:
There is also a seller on eBay who offers cluster repair/rebuild but I can't speak to the quality of his work. His feedback is great if that's any help.
Lemme know!
