Speedometer issues, stops at 38mph, please help!
My speedometer was intermittent for a while, stalling, then moving, but never above the actual speed. Now I turn it on, but as soon as I move, it travels up to 38mph then stays there until I turn off the engine, then it hangs for 4/5 seconds, then drops to zero.
I replaced the VSS in the rear diff, and the one on the tranny. I checked all fuses. There are no other dummy lights or indications. Bad ground? I'm hoping I don't need a new gauge cluster.
Any and all help appreciated!

The old maintenance tap! I haven't tried that but I'm getting to that point. Maybe I'll take the cluster out and unplug wires and put them back in. Otherwise I'm stuck, unless I get a new cluster.
I checked the ground wire responsible for the speedo and tranny (I think, based on another thread), and it was perfect.
The problem with a new cluster is that I bought this 99 specifically because it was completely original/stock with 68k miles on it. If I get a new cluster then my resale value will def take a hit.
