Speed Sensor Recall Notice
Did anyone get a speed sensor notice?
I'll have to dig out the sheet, but I got a recall notice for my speed sensor.
Odd thing is, my speed sensor is reading some crazy stuff too.
I was going though my scan gauge when cruising 70 on the highway, little did I know my truck thought i was doing 150.

If this is like the cam sensor recall, I'll throw it in the trash too.
Go to a scrap yard and find a new/used sensor before getting a brand new one from Ford, if it's the quality of their cam sensors...

I tried several parts store ones. They were crap. I stopped at a stealership in SD while we were on vacation and got one that worked sort of. My speedo used to be dead on. Now, it drops by about 5mph once in a while at 65 and above. Cruise doesn't work because of it.
I'll have to find a dealership this week and see what other recalls need to be done. I just put a CPS in two weeks ago. Same thing as I've read elsewhere. The gray ones are crap. Last 6 months at most. Finally found a black BWD at Advance Auto Parts. So far so good.

I'm not talking about the cruise control sensor.
This was a different TSB.
I'll have to dig it up.

The VSS affects cruise control. My CC worked (as in it would turn on), but it wouldn't hold a steady speed and was jerking because the VSS wasn't sending a consistent speed.

I'm getting a consistent reading on the dash, but the computer is seeing me as going faster.
I wonder whats up with that?
I know it used to read the correct speed on my scangauge.
I'm not having any Cruise Control issues either.

By the way, do you happen to have any scan guages left over from the last group buy? Or have another group buy planned soon? Turns out I need another one.

I'm having what I believe to be VSS issues on my F-150. Seems to be the same VSS as my PSD has. Get above ~65mph and the speedo starts going crazy, bouncing between 60-85mph. It has a new parts store VSS, all new parts in the rear end, and a good pigtail. Unplugged the ABS module behind the glove box and the speedo is perfect now. Gonna investigate this VSS recall a bit.

ALL vehicles are like that.
Makes you drive slower than you think you are going.
Seriously...
