Have you been into my thread on the subject? The ABS light had been sticking on a few times this week, but not in a day or so. But I would think if the speedo works, but not the odometer it must not be the VSS.

Mark, I haven't been onto the thread. However, I wonder if there's not a failsafe in the PCM somehow that would get a second (backup) speedo signal from the transmission output shaft sensor, in the event that the VSS in the rear diff were to fail.

It's like you had a post completely deleted for some reason by a mod or admin. If they delete a post, it will lower your post count. I remember seeing your original 3000th post marked as #3000 though. Something must have happened.

It actually took away 3 posts.....no clue why? I didn't notice any subscriptions drop off the grid. Maybe it happens all the time and I just don't notice it.....I usually don't pay attention

That has to be what happened, I saw you had 3000 posts earlier too.
