Thread: An Autometer/Wild Canary Story

Tweet

Okay Guys----So here's the rest of the story. It turns out that whatever was wrong with my speedometer was not fixable. Autometer GAVE me a brand new speedometer, and adjusted the accumulated mileage on it to match my old "unfixable" speedometer. They told me it was a "warranty replacement, no charge" even though I built this car 8 or 9 years ago and have driven it daily every summer since. I put the speedometer in my roadster pickup this morning, calibrated it as per their instruction sheet, and its working perfectly. This time its even registering in Kilometers as I need it to, not miles. I don't honestly know if that capability is something new, or if I screwed up the calibration on the old speedo when I installed it 8 or 9 years ago. I do know that I could only ever get it to register how fast I was going in miles per hour, and then had to convert that to kilometers per hour in my head----which was a royal pain in the arse!!! So---From me---HOORAY FOR THE GREAT FOLKS AT AUTOMETER!!!!!!----Brian---(And, Oh yeah---what was my total cost?---Well, $23 to ship it from Ontario to Illinois, and $62 to FEDEX to get it back, so a total of $85---which beats the Hell out of paying $200 for a new one at my local speed shop.)
