Buzzzzzzzing Speedo!
There's a definite buzz coming from the speedo area (nothing at idle). The tach is electronic.
Is this a cold-weather thing, or a sign of impending speedo failure?

Hmmm. It's good to see you're a Texan, because really cold weather has a different meaning down here. Just ask our Canadian friends! :flag

Re: Buzzzzzzzing Speedo! (page62)
My Patrol Car had the same problem, 85 mph and then buzzzzzzzzzz. usually was going to a call and couldn't pay much attention to it. I finally figured out that it only did it above 85MPH and on a real cold day.
Funny thing is that when I changed the Windshield Wiperblades it went away.
Seems that they would get cold and then become hard and vibrate against the glass. The wiper blade was right above the speedometer and sound does travel.
I would have bet money that it was the speedometer cable though. Sometimes it's hard to tell where a leak comes from or a noise. LOL JIM ;)
