Yes I have an idea....


OH what you want to know what it is?


Damn.... OK here is the deal. On many of the 2000-2001 Superduty trucks the shift stem end mounted OD button has a wire inside the stem that chafes and either breaks or shorts out or does both due to vibration.

I bet that is your problem

My 2000 had this problem, shorted out the dash fuse when it finally broke. Lost the RPM, and Speedo in the middle of nowhere whilst on vacation.
