    My T2000 has a electric problem somewhere. The odometer is intermittent, the cruise won't work, and the jake brake doesn't work.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Can anyone help me find an electric schematic for the truck?

    Electrical problems are the worst. First thing I would do is check every ground coming off every harnes you can get to. Make sure they are clean. I can't think of anything else that those three things would have in common. But I'm no expert.

    If speedo reads, but odometer doesn't I would suspect a gauge fault.

    Check the clutch switch. If this is stuck on, the cruise and Jakes wont work.

    It could be two separate problems though.
