I believe the speed sensor is on the tail shaft of the transfer case.
you can kind of see it on this pick.

Thanks for the pics.

I`ll check tomorrow if it`s the Vss. If it`s bad, then my obd reader shouldn`t get a speed signal. If it get`s a signal then it`s the speedo itself...

I`ve read that the vss works with various resistances. Do if a wire is broken the speedo reads unlimited resistance and is at full speed. Maybe this could be the problem too?

No idea. But those vss are $5 here used. No idea what they are new.

This was an easy fix. I just disconnected the battery over night and this morning the speedo just worked normal...

Made my own lift mate today. Started this morning with those parts:



A little grinder action:



All welded up. I couldn`t get any nice welds today, not sure why...



Test:





After this test i realized that i forgot the bolt that holds the second strap, so it actually hang on only one strap...

The paint is drying right now, more pics when it`s finished...

Hi,
there are lot`s of situations where a winch is absolutely useless. The I use my hilift or the air jack. Sand ladders and a pull pal still missing...

The intake gasket is holding up fine...

The finger at the completion of your projects are becoming like a sig.

Always makes me laugh.
