AOD (?) questions

[tomslik]

the abs/speed sensor reads off the carrier, had one out yesterday

btw, the wires to the sensor on the diff go bad (not real common but it does happen) and they're hi-flex wire too.
if they're bad, get 'em from ford.....
but like cros sez, it really needs to be scanned...

Here's the latest update.

There was a critical piece of information that he didn't share. I told him several times " When something breaks, whatever you messed with or whatever happened right before that is usually the cause."

Everything was working fine when he got the truck back from the shop that swapped the gears. Later that evening he was up in the hills 4-wheeling and the recently relocated ABS controller came loose from it's Rube Goldberg mount and got crushed in the front suspension. That's when the speedo started acting up and the transmission started shifting goofy.

Once he replaced the ABS controller everything worked fine.

Apparently the signal from the speed sensor goes through that ABS controller before going to the speedometer and the transmission.
