On my 75 k5 with a 203 tcase the speedo cable threads into one of those little boxes that is supposed to correct the speedo for tire sizes. My speedo wasn't working so i put a new cable in and did the spin test with a drill, speedo works that way but not when its threaded in the box and driving. So my question is is there a way to figure out why its not working?
 
A quick check that it's not the ratio adapter that's bad would be to take the ratio adapter off and then hook the speedo cable direct to the t-case, if the speedo works (but is off) then you know it's the ratio adapter that's bad.
 
Well took it off hook the cable to the t case and went for a test drive. took it past the speed trap up the street 40mph is 40mph. :woot:
thanks for the info 4x4
