Speedometer Cables - things that should be easy but are not

Today at 09:06:03 AM by kopeck | Views: 17 | Comments: 1

Morning,

I have a '79 C10 350/Auto with a noise speedometer cable. My truck has the two-piece (upper and lower) setup.

I've removed them to measure and get a new set, but I can't find anything that matches. The lower cable is 23", and the upper cable is 44".

On the upper cable, I can find 41". Short but close that maybe I'm not measuring it the way the factor does. On the lower cable I can't find anything close to 23". Also, I'm not sure if they have the right ends. Some pictures show a male end like I have, some show female, and some show something completely different.

Why is the cable two pieces anyway? Seems like it just complicates things.

Am I missing something obvious here?

I did remove the drive on the transmission. The gear was in perfect shape, and the square drive looked good, too.

Greetings,
Can the starter solenoid be replaced without pulling the starter?
Looks possible at a glance...
Thanks,

Anybody ever buy from automobiles and accessories? Can’t tell if they are legit or it’s a scam! Seems kinda fishy. Won’t take credit card or pay-pal.

Dead short window switch

April 29, 2024, 07:42:08 PM by Clcarp57 | Views: 113 | Comments: 2

'85 C10, bought truck window regulators to speed up function of windows. Drivers side works fine. Passenger side works fine. Passenger switch on drivers side works fine in up mode, dead short on the down button that causes interior light to dim and stereo to restart (modern day single din). Wiring diagrams are confusing. New switch, but old switch does the same thing. I'd like to be able to run a jumper from drivers side passenger switch to the passenger side. Any ideas? I'm lost.
