Ok, first off.... 1994, 4wd, 22re, 5speed. My speedometer, nor odometer has never worked since I've owned this truck. I read some threads on here today, just came back in from checking the sensor on the tranny. The gears look fine, I was wondering if there is a way to zero out the sensor as the prob, b4 I went and bought another, OR do you guys think it may be something else, THANKS

i guess cuz its newer it has an electric spedo, im sure theres a why to test the spedo with an ohm meter or something, look through the FSM thats listed at the top of the forum, sure it will tell you how, ide look through mine but i have one for 85-

Negative, it is still cable driven.

theres wires that run all the way back from the intruments to your tranny which is where the sensor is located i had the same problem only my wires were disconnected or stripped in half however you want to put it but anyways the sensor was still good

my wires are still connected to the sensor. I didn't check for a short between the guage and the sensor, yet....

yoterr

well then im lost cuz their sayin wires n sensors n not cables...? i kno mines cable drivin..

lil_man

the older ones are cable driven, the newer one are electric, not sure of the year they changed. I had a 86 w/ this same problem, but w/ any easy fix(replace the cable)

yeah 94 is deffinetly electrical not cable i think they stopped in 89 or 90 possibly could be wrong not sure but my 93 is deff electrical you could just have a bad sensor id start with that if you see no loose conections

Hmmm, that's funny because my '95 T4R has a dry @ss speedo cable that sings to beat the band for the first 15 minutes I drive it when it is really cold.

90-94 or something like that were electronic, they went back to cable after that. You're saying your odometer still works?
