Everything goin at once

Man, my truck has had some bad luck this last couple of weeks. First my windshied cracks from pillar to pillar, then I blow my head gaskets and today my spedo got stuck at 95mph and wouldn't come back down for a couple of hours. It dropped about 10mph every hr and now it is stuck at about 10mph. At first it didn't move with changes in speed, now it moves but is 10mph off.........

I have no idea hahaha......i forgot to add that one morning i stopped off at a friend's house after a 30 min drive. the truck was off for about 20 mins and when i got back in to start up it made a grinding noise like when you accidently turn the key on a vehicle that is already running. i pulled the key out and tried again and everything was fine. so now i have a pretty long list to give the dealer once i have a chance to get over there......

Now is the time to just head over to NC and leave it with Matt for a few days and he'll fix it all up I'm sure.

Just disconnect your batteries for a bit, and I think that should reset the speedo

You wouldn't believe how dangerous that is. My girlfriend is used to a 4 cyl. cavalier and when she got to drive my truck after I had all the stuff listed done, she was doing 65 in a 35(although it really should be faster it's practically a 4-lane highway)!!!! Then she had the gall to say that she didn't realize that she was doing that much. Unbelievable.

What is it with girls and their cavaliers? I mean everyone understands men and their trucks, but girls and their cavaliers, that just escapes me.
