    speedo problem???

    like the title says. under acceleration and deaccleration it seems like my speedo needle is sticking a little almost as if ticking like a clock. i just had a new exhaust system installed... but its cat back so it shouldnt have affected anything. my friends tell me its nothing to worry about but im badly adhd so if anyone could help id appreciate it.

    My speedo and the one in my camaro does the same thing...Its got like a processor in it and it makes that sound...Its not anything to worry about..If its sticking the stock speedos tend to do that sometimes...Shwarmys is stuck at 3000 rpms like 24/7 lol

    As far as the exhuast...It wouldnt effect the speedo...and I also asked a guy about the check engine light and its nothing to worry about....the sensors re setup to just notice stock exhaust flow what he said and if it changes a bit it does that..

    Just get allen to fix it

    ya dude right after i got off the phone with you i just decided to drive to travis's house to see if we couldnt do anything about it. right when i hit 30mph it turned off and hasnt been on since so thats good. ohh ya i was also fuckin around and raced a guy with an 02 buick lesabre that was parked next to me at vatozone. he had an ecotec something or another needless to say it was supercharged,plugs, pullys, and air to water... intercooler all that anyways we raced from a 30 punch after i helped him install his new msd plugs. lol. man something blew up in his face on the road right when we took off BOOM!! fire out the bottom of the car. so i pulle dover with my friend andrew and there wasnt anything we could do lol. we just hung out with him until the tow truck arrived. poor guy. lol.

    the stock speedo just isnt made for the power...Shwarmys truck only has a cam and other bolt ons and his screws up sometimes too as well as others on the forums....

    Ive heard the Escalade Clusters are different and work better...Also as well as the SS Clusters

    You can find them on ebay..
