85lebaront2 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I would like to find a speedometer from a Lightning (needs to fit 1992-96/7 full gauge cluster). Darth really needs one that will keep up with what he's capable of (son had him pegged on I-264 in VB a number of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 That's a scary thought. Four tons hurtling down the highway at that speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 That's a scary thought. Four tons hurtling down the highway at that speed. Actually, by a certified scale (one they weigh grain trucks on here in Exmore) 6400 lbs empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Actually, by a certified scale (one they weigh grain trucks on here in Exmore) 6400 lbs empty. That's almost double what my little Flareside weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as you know, I was guestimating high last night. I'll have to weight Big Blue when I get him back together, but I'll bet he's about that 6400 number as well.

Steve83 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I would like to find a speedometer from a Lightning (needs to fit 1992-96/7 full gauge cluster).Those Ls were only made '93-95, and those PSOMs are extremely sought-after (rare/expensive). But you might check the classifieds on http://www.nloc.net/vbforum/forumdisplay.php/398-Gen-1-Lightnings .Darth really needs one that will keep up with what he's capable of (son had him pegged on I-264 in VB a number of years ago.You'd be better-off IMO with a phone cradle since, even if you get your hands on that PSOM, it's not extremely accurate, and it won't be easy to install even if you have the rear axle that will generate the signal it needs to work. Read this caption & look at the NEXT pic: https://supermotors.net/getfile/76023/thumbnail/cluster-front.jpg But a phone GPS will always be accurate, and you need a phone charger anyway. https://supermotors.net/getfile/1146165/thumbnail/iottieqidash.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Garmin weighted mount sits nicely in the center "well" on my 1996 dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve83 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I would like to find a speedometer from a Lightning...I have the PSOM speedometer already..."The" PSOM? The one you were looking for from a Lightning? So what was the point of this thread? Or do you mean you have "a" PSOM already? Does that mean your '86 truck has a '96 dash and a rear axle with an ABS sensor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorsportXLT Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 What year is the truck? Lightning Speedos are specific. 93 had its own, and 94-95 had their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
