The one I had trouble with was a Dakota Digital....took the dash unit and speedo to them, they did some of their wizardry, no more problem.
And that would be pretty much be the extent of my knowledge on feedback problems!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it's electric.. The other change that was made over the winter was the lower pan behind the grille was added. To help force all the air through the radiator..
Is this the culprit?? I don't know.. I guess I'll just drive it the speed limit and it'll be fixed!

HAH! NOT!!!

I think I have another fan from a wrecked vehicle. I'm wondering how my buddy will feel about holding it out the window while we run down the highway with it hung out there with a volt meter attached?!?!?! rofl..

Let's see, you're sayin' I can buy a Prius or Volt, mount a bunch of electric fans anywhere they will catch air going down the road and I'll have a perpetual motion machine that runs off the batteries, but re-charges the batteries from the air velocity through the fans?? Too many things wrong with that picture, Mike.

You're funny! No, that's not what I'm saying! But what I am investigating is a fan motor(s) becoming a generator that's out of phase with the rest of my electric system. Something is causing the speedo and tach to go crazy! Didin't check the other gauges so I can't speak about them.. And don't you know sarcasm when you read it??? And here I thought I was transparent!
