No Speedometer...

Well, apparently in one of the work trucks at work the speedometer is not working. The truck is a 1987 F-250 4x4 with an AOD automatic trasmission.

I haven't really looked at it yet but thought I would check here first. Is there a speedometer cable on this year of trucks or is it done through the VSS? I thought I saw something on here about VSS but thought they made that change in 1992.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

87 will have a cable off the end of the transfer case.

OK, that's where I was thinking it was. Maybe the gear stripped?

Well, it ended up being the VSS on the transmission/transfer case. At least that is what they wrote the part down on the invoice from the transmission shop. Oh well, it is fixed now.
