| Speeddometer floats and don't know how fast i'm driving. had truck checked and the sensor was replaced, still have the problem. i also have cruise control which doesn't work. i've had numerous other problems with truck starting back at 2,000 mi. i feel this should not be broke., because truck is 51/2 yrs. old but only 21,000 mi. this should be taken care of by the dealer. i had a file to the consumer relations management a few years ago. i feel they may not help me now. if you call i can let you know about the other major problems i had. *ak | |||
