07:12 pm | Working on a '99 1500 speedometer gear box on the front axle. On the parts fiche there is only one gear on HDL's website,(GEAR,SPEEDOMETER 44806-MT2-003 001 $17.86) which I am assuming is the bigger plastic gear. Is the other worm gear not replacable? Does it need replaced? Don't have these parts here, but a friend wants me to order a gear "set". Don't know what exactly to order.
Anybody know anything? Thanks!!

07:50 pm | Steve - If you order Item #10 Box assembly, PN: 44800-MT2-003, it should contain the entire unit, drive gear, washers and housing containing the worm gear. Normally the worm gear is okay. Really depends on high mileage whether I would consider anything other than the plastic speedometer gear. Lube it well with white lithium grease.

08:35 pm | It's the plastic gear that wears out if you don't clean and lube each time you replace the front tire. With my 95 1500 SE the plastic meshes with a brass gear. I only replaced the plastic gear and now clean and lube. All works well and that was over 100,000 miles ago. The plastic gear cost little, the whole unit cost a lot more. |
