Suggestion

Truthfully, I'd rather go the other way: convert to a 100mph speedo that's actually useful, and use the digital alone for speeds over 100.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was wondering if there was a specific part # i need or will this even work? I have a 99 cab and was wondering if it was possible to upgrade the speedo to 02+ cars 200mph speedo? Thanks Joe

POST 2Original post

I think that's a big deal, the plugs in the back are different. Not really a DIY.

POST 3Original post

Not only is it a big deal but why in the world do you want to do something like this?

POST 4Original post

You mean why would he want to change an attractive but useless 175mph speedo for a more attractive and no more useless 200mph speedo?

POST 9Original post

you could have the face plate changed and the speedo re calibrated but swaping a 02+ is unrealisitic

POST 10Original post

Frankly, I'd like to get rid of the analog speedo and put in something like a compass, or a tire pressure monitor, or hmmm, what else? Any ideas guys? Ah, I got it, how about an altimeter. These cars really fly.

POST 12Original post

Truthfully, I'd rather go the other way: convert to a 100mph speedo that's actually useful, and use the digital alone for speeds over 100. I think Corvettes used to have something similar in the 1980s.
