New to the ram.My father had one that's about my working knowledge.

Today I was white knuckled on the interstate. With death wobble and vage steering. Anyway they had a radar sign posted. Spedo showed 65.......radar shown 78????

Are these spedometers still gear driven or is it now digital? How hard is the cluster to pull? I also have a deep hate for the shift indicator constantly lighting up so I'm going to pull that lightbulb. 00 ram...

the speedometers have been electrical since about 89. does the truck have larger tire? i think you can get a tuner to change the computer to fix the speedo on a 00.

In 1998 they went to bused message to the cluster. I would verify your speed by gps first. The dealership can update the abs module to correct the speedometer. Now if there is an actual cluster issue you can run a cluster self test.
