help trouble with 99 maz b3000

my 99 troy lee design b3000 with 97,000 miles started acting up today. this is whats going on
speed ometer quit, abs light came on, 0ver drive light is flashing, transmission is shifting very hard on the up and down shift, also running very high rpm at times. my first thought is computer problem, i tried to reset the computer by unplugging the battery, but it did not correct the problem. anyone have any ideas on what the problem may be? i have never had any problems with the truck and it has always been maintained by the book. please help me

it is a small sensor on top of the axle tube. I havent ever changed mine, but i did stay at a holiday inn express last night.

lol

the sensor is used for your speedometer, your tranny shiftpoints, and for your RABS. someone on here should be able to walk you through it and give you a price estimate. sorry my help is only limited. but it should point you in the right direction.

No offense, but for others for future reference that come in here.....IF you have a problem THAT obvious, NO resetting of the computer wishes that stuff away.

That's a good way to empty your wallets, though.....ignoring rough tranny = bad news.

i think you miss understood my statement. i did not reset the computer to ignore the problem. i did it to make sure that a false code or computer glitch was not causing the problem. when that was ruled out and the problem was not fixed by resetting the computer. i proceeded to find and correct the problem which in this case was a bad speed sensor. no further harm was done by my actions and no wallets were emptied
