Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a new Ford truck. Just today, in the rain, I decided to try out 4x4. I put it into 4 HIGH and it worked great. After parking it, I wanted to try out the rest of the gears (I have a manual 4x4 selector), and put it into 4 LOW. The engine was in neutral at the time. After switching out of 4 LOW, the speedometer revved all the way to the max, but the engine didn't rev at all. What happened? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

See my message posted 6-6-00.
My 2000 F150 has had an erratic speedometer
for 3 months. They repalced the cluster...
same problem. The dealer has had another on
backorder for 6 weeks now. Sounds like a
similair problem. My bounces from 0-120
and everywhere inbetween as I drive along.

>>>>While not a Ford truck or Ford product at all I had a similar experience with a 93 Chevy Caprice with a digital speedo. While in neutral if you revved the engine the speedometer would run up like a tach. Mr. Goodwrench couldn't find a problem with it. But the speedometer did function perfectly while driving.

The gas pedal wasn't even pressed down though, and the speedometer is fine during driving.
