I have a 1990 Dodge W150,5.2, auto with cruise. No speedometer, but Odometer works?? I changed the sensor on the transmission, still the same. Anyone have a fix?
 
I've seen the opposite more than what you are asking about there's a worm gear that breaks and I have seen a kit for one eBay.
Maybe there is a problem on yours with the needle coming off?
 
yeah, I have seen the opposite more too. What do you mean about the needle? Mine is there and looks okay
 
take the speedometer out of the dash and you can run it with a drill make sure you are going the right way around.
 
Oh I would take it out and check it over you may see the problem. Also could be a bad connection or wire
 
I thought the 90 had both a cable drive and the electronic speed sensor. I've seen speedo drive adapters for the tranny end set up for both out of same housing. I know the newer ones have a different style of "print" for the numbers posted in the face compared to the older 80s ones. I have a couple up in the attic. All the way from 81 to 5-3 newest one I have is either 91 or 92. Don't know how many miles any show unless I get up on the attic again. I'm not using the 90s style in my trucks. which are an 83 and 85

from what I have found out the 1990 is the first year for this set up. The gauges all plug into the housing, including the speedometer. The speedo has 3 pins. If you have anything let me know. my mileage is 156K
