1985 Dodge 1/2... the speedometer cable broke... which is SUPER easy to fix HOWEVER this damn thing has cruise control in it and TWO cables... Has anyone had to deal with this? I cannot find a cable that is short enough (27inches) and the stock 80 inch will just not work unless I pull the cruise control out.... I would rather not pull the cruise control.... If it wasn't a Dodge I would shoot it!! :sawzall:

i think you can but a new speedo cable core at most parts stores.

Thank you, I did see that at one point and it is looking like that might be the only other things beyond going to no cruise...

Me, too! The parts stores sell mostly Pioneer with the wrong fittings on the ends.
Repair kits would be useful for me, since it the core cable that's bad, but they have no female couplings.
Sensor is male on both sides, and has a little nylon insert that accepts the square cable end.
Unobtainium, as is the cable assembly itself.
Still trying to find an OEM number, or even a salvage yard that has one...

I have an '85 W150 with two cable cruse control. But the way, that setup is how the factory did all the trucks then, but I'm sure you all know that.
Are you guys talking about the cruse control cable? If so which one? Or are you talking about the speedo cable? I believe I have one of the cruse cable p/n. I know I have the speedo p/n.
I read the first post from MsBetie, he seems to be talking about the speedo. Most everybody else seems to be talking about the cruse cables, it's had to tell, that's why I'm asking.
