Hello
I put in a new odometer cable and odometer, and mine seems to be reading
about half the speed I'm going. Is there different gear sizes or things that
would affect the readings on a cj2a.

Did you ever get a response or resolve this?.  I have the same thing.  It hovers around 25 - 30 even when I'm doing 65.

Thanks Quentin

I’d start with the odometer first. Is it correct?
