89 Chevy Truck - fixing the broken odometer 

Check out the other work I have done to my 89 K1500. I put it all in the playlist ---> ru-vid.com/group/PL7N0OSFkZShEkMw-Vn9qTs-2MOXpnSAfo

This guy has a voice u can listen to. Actually learned something!

cool video, easy to understand and straightforward! I have a 1993 Chevy K1500 Suburban and I am in the same process of fixing all the "old truck" things one by one, and on a tight budget. I have a feeling I will be watching many of your well-made tutorials in the future. Thank You!!!

Great video! I have a 1988 Chevy C1500, and I used this video to fix my odometer. If you're super cheap or too busy to visit a junkyard(like me) you might be able to fix your broken gear. I put some epoxy in the crack on my gear, and on the odometer shaft. Slide it on and use a small hose clamp to apply even pressure so as not to break the teeth or crack the gear further. The odometer takes minimal force to rotate, so the epoxy is plenty strong enough. Now I can finally figure out my gas mileage!

Your content is straight forward and has the details that are important. My tripmeter hasn't worked in years on my 94. I bet it's that coupling! Thanks for the informative videos!

Great video, my 89 k1500 has the same problem. I bet it's this gear. Can't wait to finish work and pull it apart haha

I have this truck too. I have gotten most of the trim from the salvage yard and than painted it with the proper paint made for the purpose. Not just any paint will do. It’s a great vehicle. Thanks for the video. You did good.

Thx Maq for your time to post this, quite informative, going through the same process of odometer woes!

Thanks for sharing. My 88 only shows 100. Which is cool if it starts counting soon!

i have a 1990. the odometer reads 109,000. it has approx 750,000 miles on the truck. the rear diff is the only original drive train component left. the odometer has been faulty since it was new. the odometer, door handles/panels and the fuel pumps are the only "bad parts" gm put in these trucks.

I’m a big fan of the half moon white face that comes up behind the “needle.” Something I wish they would have kept, but I understand that the performance of the modern motors demanded a more responsive gauge.

good to see it’s not as difficult as I was thinking but I’m thinking about fixing the broken gear with a solder and a zip tie I’ve used this method before to fix broken tabs on grill and fog lights and it works really good

Thank you for the detailed video.right to the point.and the repair.im ordering my part now thanks

I hate the gauge cluster in the 88-93. It’s actually fairly easy to swap them with a 94-96 needle gauge cluster. Also I picked up some decent bucket seats and had them reupholstered. After picking up a 4L80e I’m on the hunt for a low mileage LS.

My 88 is doing the same thing. I know where I will start looking!

Good video! That is a nice, clean truck despite the normal wear. I have a 1990 K1500 with some of the issues you're dealing with. Looking forward to the progress on your truck!

Very well done. So many of these help videos take too long to get to the point and unfortunately use a lot of fowl language. Yours are professionally done. You come across well. Great job. Thanks

Well done video!

Very informative video Thank You

those trucks were probably the best trucks chevy ever made besides the generation before it. My gpop had an 88 and it was a great truck. I often wonder if it is still around.

Oh man, you should talk to Jeff at Odometergears. He makes more than BMW stuff now, maybe he'll cut you a deal if you send him a gear to put into production :)

I havent taken my 89 cluster apart yet but i bet its that little gear. Mine quit working at 140,000 mi. that was 25 years ago LOL. love my 89 runs like a top !!!

thanks for the help i have the same problem the Odometer gear broke where did you order your

nice information, i need the botton clip, that resets the gas milage, its a square rod that sits next to the steeering wheel, you have to press the botton several times to set it back to zero. Can you direct me in the right direction, my 1989 chevrolet c1500. can you help me ?

What type of alternator due yyou have? I see your volts are way above 14. I can barely get mine above 13 v’s! Good video. I need to do the same thing to my 91 k1500.

Thanks man. I have a 88 c1500 that nothing on the cluster works except the odometer and the speedometer. prob gonna take it apart see whats up

nice i bet thats whats wrong with mine the gear looked just like yours i didnt see if it was cracked though. mines an 89 also

Can you make a video of you disconnecting and reconnecting the heat and a/c ground wires underneath the passenger side dash more / through your glove box. I was an idiot and disconnected them and can’t find where they go. Much appreciated man.

Maybe you can help me out. I have a 1990 Chevy 1500, and I have had it for about 6 months now . Shortly after getting it, I noticed my odometer seems to work sometimes, either for the the whole duration of my ride or partial. I went ahead and replaced the speed sensor and have the same issue, it still works some of the time. When it does work, it doesn't seem like any gears in the odometer clusters are broken, it cycles through just fine. Any idea what this might be happening? Thanks

Did the new gear solve the issue? Wonder if it could be something else on mine. The Speedo isn’t working as well

Ya that little gear happens all the time on 89 chevs .. mine went out at 100,000

Any vids on repairing the gas guage needle?

So if my odometer works but Speedo doesn’t what’s the fix for that. Thanks

I took mine apart and the gear is in place and fine. Not sure how to fix it

You wouldn’t happen to have an extra piece that goes from the odometer to the trip…the little piece of metal that makes the trip turn?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Where can I order the gear from?

friend how are you greetings I am from Mexico and I am dedicated to repairing dashboards I am interested in a dashboard from there that is in good condition you can send me one that you have good or you want
