First off, I read the Jim Oaks' sticky thread.
Problem - "The speedometer in my 1999 Ranger fluctuates or doesn't work until I hit 30MPH. What's wrong?
I just finished replacing BOTH front hub/bearing assemblies with non-ABS and after replacing the driver's side I took a short test ride and the speedometer was working. I did the passenger side yesterday and today (Had to go to a Ford dealer for a replacement axle retainer snap ring). I used non ABS bearing/hub assemblies because the ABS has never worked in the three years I've owned the truck. Previous owner told me he had replaced the rear ABS sensor. Speedo has always worked but no ABS.This time the first thing I noticed when I went on test ride was NO speedometer. Tach is fine. I suspected that the now disconnected passenger side ABS sensor was the cause.
I don't think it's worth buying another new hub (or set of hubs) Any comments or suggestions??
P.S. While I was at it I did the "push button mod" to get my 4WD working again. Yay, it works!
