speedometer replacement

[dentist]

I just bought a 88YJ and having only onwned a 04 TJ, it is a whole new bag of worms. First, I bought a new speedo cable, but where does it run and what is the easiest way to replace it?

Second, the heater fan makes an awful whining noise, do I need to replace it or possibly lubricate some moving parts?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

adam

As for the speedo cable, Id unhook it from the gauge cluster and just follow it to the speedo gear and then just run your new one the same way. As for the fan, im not too sure, just be careful around it especially if its on, been there done that, not fun...

Hey Allen he said heater fan not engine fan. By the way hows your finger?

Hey Dentist,
I cant recall on a YJ heater but if it is like a CJ the whole heater housing has to be unbolt from under the dash and pulled out to replace the motor. On a CJ the end of the heater motor is inside the engine comparament under the battery tray if yours is like that then you can hit it with some lube but that would be only a temp fix.

well when you're spending $400-1200 (Winches are expesinve!) on a winch...$60 is not a massive amount. And you dont NEED a winch ^.^ Just a buddy and a good recovery kit.
