fummins speedometer cable
 
i was wondering how to hook the ford speedomter cable to the dodge 241dhd transfercase

i cant help you personally on this one but one thing i know is the ONLY part of engine and trans swaps i have ever done that I couldnt do on my own, was speedometers. i just go to the speedometer shop. the 94 12v you have should have an electronic VSS IIRC. and i dont know what the ford used. you might have to get a custom made box or something from the speedo shop thatll solve your problem. thats what i had to do

You might contact United Speedometer Service,,,,, 909-684-0292 I think the guy I talked to is Carl. Been a few years. I did a 305 Chevy swap into a Frod Ranger, and he fixed me up with a cable. I know there is more involved in this one, but they might be able to help out. Worth calling to see,,,,,,,,,

the ford might use a cable. but the dodge uses an electrical pulse. i dont know how they convert from a electrical pulse to a cable that but thats something a speedometer shop would know.

speedometer is the last thing to do on my list. just got my truck registered yesterday so now i can make the 2 hour drive to the nearest speedometer shop. they quoted me 250 to get it all done and dynoed to insure its right. i dont know what theyll charge you but that might help you with a ballpark figure

$250 is a good price. Especially considering the cost of a ticket if you are guessing at your speed. What speedo shop are you going to??
