ok well Im thinking about ditching my gauge cluster for a nice clean looking setup, since my speedometer barely works anyways I would like to replace it..along with all mechanical gauges like fuel,water temp,oil temp, oil psi and other crap...which I know how to do since I already have most of them.. but how do you add an aftermarket speedometer ?!?
I believe what everone you get comes with the adapters to hook it up to you cable... but if its electric then im not sure.....
didn't you just post a thread about how you couldn't afford a $14 oil pump o-ring? aftermarket speedos are $100+. usually +++++ then you have to make a custom panel to fit your new gauges oil, temp, etc are all electric gauges from the factory BTW.
thats what I thought, wasnt sure though. I know I dont have money for this right now, but Id like to know what im doing before I go order the parts and realize oh sht this is a lot more detailed then I thought !.... I know how much the speedo is and I already have all the other gauges... and im not interested in dummy lights, I want actual numbers like oil psi and water temp in degrees, not a red mark on a line...
I run all AutoMeter gauges. Here's the company & part you need: Speedometer Service Co. 414-463-6661 adapter for Toyota trans mechanical drive to electric #HE22C ,was $92.50 ask for Roger, I got this back in 03
thanks, Ill probably just order the adapter from him, or at least get a part number and find it cheaper on ebayyyy I do wanna see pics of your dash, havent seen it in a while.. actually no pics of your truck in a long time either???
oh sht you got the electronic speedometer, and all the sensors.. thats not gunna work for me, my I got a cable driven w58
My stock speedo was cable drive,the adapter goes right into the trans where the cable was! And it will work with any after market electric speedo! All the other gauges are mechanical /with the senders from Autometer (yes they must be wired) I spliced into the stock wires, all corrections are soldered & shrink wrapped, using the same gauge wire as stock!
thanks.. if I order this and end up pulling my hair out from my head... your gunna have some explainin to doo !! haha
Hey Action, could you post a link to that adapter,(or one like it) Thanks. BTW, nice clean harness you made. I know it takes way way too much time doing it the right way.
couldnt you just use the trans adapter from an electric drive Toyota speedo? They are the same except one has an electrical plug and the other is threaded for the mechanical cable..
