speedometer guage not working
I have a 99 f-250 7.3L super duty.
My speedometer guage in the cluster is not working properly. It may be affecting my turbo etc.
the meter doesnt read over 40mph and when I get to speeds of 75 or above it drops down to 0 and doesnt read at all.
Any ideas to what that could be?
p.s. I've already replaced the sensor on rear differential.

Just picked it up from tech who was doing some work for me. Apparently the engine isn't getting warm enough. Any thoughts?

If the thermostat is bad or the gasket is flipped...there are many on here that say to replace the thermostat with a ford OEM part as some of the non oem's fail quickly. Just what I have read about thermostats so far on this board.

How does the PCM not seeing a correct temperature or the engine not getting hot enough cause your speedometer to not register above 40mph?
Ask your mechanic that...
Are you also getting an ABS light?
Where did you get the ABS sensor (VSS) for the rear end and what P/N?
Have you inspected the wiring for the VSS?
Have you checked your oil in the rear end to make sure there aren't a ton of metal shavings causing buildup on the new sensor?
Have you inspected the tone ring that the VSS picks up on?

Did you find a solution to your Speedometer problem? I'm having a similar issue with my 2002 F250 diesel. The speedometer might register zero or 105, but usually when I take off, it will immediately jump to 75 and stay there no matter what speed I'm driving.
The ABS light was on, but had that issue addressed. No ABS light now, but Speedo still not working.
All other gauges and lights work just fine. Fuses seem to be all fine. Could it be that the instrument cluster is bad? How would you check this?
