2005 Speedometer Stopped Working?
Has anyone had a problem with their speedometer not working?
I have a 2005 F250 4x4 6.0L CC with 200 miles on it. I was coming out of the woods with a load of firewood and the truck was in 4x4. All was well and when I reached the highway, I shifted into 4x2 and started up the road. I looked down at the dash and noticed that the speedometer wasn't working. I pulled over, shifted into 4x4 and back to 4x2 but this had no effect. Then, thinking that the speedometer is all computer driven now, I turned the key off to reboot the computer. I started the truck up again and the speedometer has been fine ever since.
Was this just a fluke or can I expect the speedometer to die again?

you may want to check the speed sensor pick up, it should be located near the rear of the trans, make sure any of the plugs are not loose.
nice part is the truck has a warranty for these little bumps in the road.

The VSS is located on top of the diff - driver's side.
