Need some help

Does anyone know or have a lift available for use close to the twin cities. I have an ABS light, od flashing and NO SPEEDOMETER. The VSS didn't fix it and the next switch is on top of the transmission. I tried doing it with the truck on ramps and the back just wouldn't allow me to get it done. If I had a lift it would be fairly easy and take only a few minutes. I don't really want to drive a ton of miles until its fixed, hence the need for something close to the cities. Thanks in advance

Tom can this be done on a ramps? I will be down to the cities next tues weather permitting to help my brother move. I could swing by possibly on the way out of town and try and do it for you. But to answer your original question I dont know of anybody with a lift.

If you don't get it fixed by Saturday let me know. I'll be home Saturday evening and could probably help on Sunday.

Other than the snow being an issue tonight will be the best shot at some warmer temps.

Nope, I am heading out to Dale's tomorrow to hopefully fix this for good. It sure would be nice to have a speedometer back.
