Help Fixing Speedometer in 1989 4.9
Hello,
I just purchased a 1989, and the speedometer does not work. All of the other gages work perfectly, just not the speedo. IM assuming that the cable needs to be replaced and possibly a sensor? I have not made this repair in the past so and help would be great.

That ABS sensor on the rear axle has nothing to do with your pre-'92 speedo. Look at the cable from the tailhousing of the trans/t-case going up thru the floor near the firewall below the steering column. You can pull the VSS out of the tailhousing & inspect the plastic gear. If the gear appears worn or damaged, you need to replace BOTH gears - the driven gear (on the VSS) & the drive gear (inside the tailhousing).
