Iltis Speedo Gear
Thanks Rob for the 4x4 advice. Maybe the Iltis will get a little better fuel mileage in 2x4 rather than 4x4?
So, mileage can only be measured if you know how far and how fast you are going. This Iltis also has a non functioning speedometer. I was told that the speedometer needs to be replaced by the owner and he has a replacement. Problem is, it isn't the speedometer, it was a frozen speedometer cable. By freeing both ends of the cable, dumping in some anti-seize and twisting the cable cover, I was able to free the cable. Inserting the transmission end of the cable into a cordless drill and activating it registered on the speedo. It appears that the speedo drive gear is pooched (stripped) and I have a replacement gear on order. I actually have 2 on order in case someone else needs one. They should arrive next week.
