Sounds like a Speed Sensor issue. Is the speedometer working correctly?

no, unless your brakes are locked up for some reason, but you'd smell that, the abs would have nothing to do with your truck not wanting to shift into higher gears, probably a sensor to your abs is loose or got bumped

get some codes pulled...I can still see this as being that speed sensor or could be indicative of tranny problems. The codes will tell us which direction (or in my case it was both).
