What the hell? Does it do it just sitting there when you turn the key? Or like when you hit the gas also

Sounds like a speed/wheel sensor.. Those the abs and brake lights coming on?

the abs light and brake light now remain on and the air bag light comes on when the speedo drops out too.

I'm guessing a loose ground like Daniel

im thinking a loose connection for sure, cause nothing else changes. truck runs great with no other problems

On top of the rear diff is a speed sensor take it out and clean off the metal shavings and put it back ya may get lucky and that would fix it otherwise ya have to replace the sensor. That is the problem.

found and fixed the problem. turns out the connector at the junction box under the dash had been removed before, and whoever reinstalled it caught one of the wires, and it pinched it and tore the insulation, and im guessing that when i ran my 4ga. power wire for my amp, that i bumped it, and it was grounding out on the bolt giving me all kinds of errors.

i taped the wire up and made sure not to pinch any other wires upon re-installation.

so far its fixed. hopefully for good.

I dunno about that one cory, it needs to be even all the way around if you want to port it properly

i wouldnt be porting as much as i would just be smoothing it out, and rounding the edges.

theres a diy on another forum and seems like everyone has had good results
