Speedometer problems!!!!

I have a 1990 f 150 xlt 4x4 manual tranny 5.0 truck.

I just bought the truck and the speedo dont work. I spun the speedo at the insturment cluster, the begining and end of the core cable, and have checked it at the tranny. It still doesnt work. I dont know what the problem is.

Please send me some info and quick...also make it in great detail if you would im deffinatley no mechanic.

Have you checked to make sure the cable is actually engaged at the speedo head fully, and at the t-case? Or it may have a bad gear in the housing, see this thread:
