My new truck is finally home! Now I can start the rest of the repairs to get it really drivable...
One thing I noticed when I test drove and initially attempted to drive it home was that the speedometer needle jumps around wildly while driving. The rear shocks are shot and I was driving it down a patched mountain road, so I didn't care too much about it at the time.
On Sunday evening when I drove it home I noticed that it tends to jump up to the proper speed, fall back down, then jump back up again constantly, but when it 4th gear it only jumps up to about 1/2-2/3 of the actual speed. Any tips as to troubleshooting? Is this likely loose wiring, a ground issue, or a faulty speedometer?
