Speed-o issue

ok i have a 2000 super duty with the 7.3 6 speed 4x4 and having an intermittent issue with my speedometer not working. I have to stop and shut the truck off and restart the truck to get it to work again.

Check your Vehicle Speed Sensor located on top of your rear differential. May need to replace it.

Remove the VSS from the top of the rear diff housing and it will most likely have a lot of small iron filings stuck to it (it's a magnet) clean off the filings and reinstall it, the filings are normal wear and should not be any concern, this should fix your problem! Hope this helps!
