    Would this most likely be a wiring issue before the speedo or the speedo itself?

    Thanks

    I would check the adjustment on sensor first. Loosen jam nut run it down till it touches then back off 1/4 turn. I have seen the ring slip on tail shaft a few times. Pull the sensor and see if you can turn the ring. When its intermittent its a crap shoot

    Ummm, no. This truck will fly and I mean fly. Current drivers are good with it and careful, but want an accurate odometer for fuel figures.
