And if that don't work, VSS sensor from a Ford house is about $20 bucks and will get you back and running.

Give Ed (FTE Parts Guy) and a member here a call or drop him a message.

The last one I installed was about $19.50 plus tax. $50 is way too much.

It is a 2000 used for snow removal and working in the summer so i think i will change sensors. i also got cam positioning sensor code and exhaust back pressure sensor code. will feel better if they are new and will get a spare CPS for the glove box.

thanks Chris

I love this detective work and i must say a big thank you to everyone for your knowledge and help. I had my truck at a local ford dealer here in montreal , Quebec and they didn't figure things out on my truck.

you are all a God send!!!!
