I have a 2001 and completely understand chasing down the gremlins. First Gen Dodges are a wonderful mess. Thanks for the video. Very helpful! My speedometer just stopped today and it was working yesterday! Got to love the truck!! lol
Glad you posted this. I have a 1997 Dodge ram Sport 4x4 I need to replace transmission on. And just picked up a 2000 Dodge Ram Laramie SLT 2 wheel drive I've got a lot of work to do on it.
Thank you for the info.. Gotta fix my Dodge ram now.. Mine will work some days, but it's not the right speed.. If it says I'm doing 110mph then it's really 55mph.. Crazy Mess for sure... ÷ by half.. Lol...
I feel silly now. I went to the parts house and ordered the one at the 5 speed transmission and that didnt do the trick even though its listed as the vehicle speed sensor. Replaced the one in back at the diff, still no speedometer. No waning lights or anything on, no codes. Good times. Maybe I should just say knowing the mileage and speed is overrated and just learn to live with no speedo because Im out of ideas since the electrical seems intact but its hard to tell because diagrams for this truck are the most useless and worthless I have ever seen, especially considering Im supposed to have 8 volts at the orange wire at the VSS and I only have 5.4v but on the white/orange wire which is supposed to be the speed sensor signal, got nothing on the orange wire... What... the.. Fook...
Thank you for your speedy response have a Merry Christmas!

does that ABS light ever stay off...
Thanks, gonna try this .
I notice the check engine, ABS,brake lights are on. Have they always been on too?
I recall that they were on only because of the start up. They went out after the initial start of ignition as they usually do. Thanks for watching.

Could this affect the shifting of the truck?
It should not affect the shifting.
Are speeds sensors the same even if it’s Standard 5.2
Sorry I am not sure. Check with auto parts store as they should know.
Excellent!!!
Many thanks!
did ur tachometer rpm also not work?
I don't recall but I think it did work.

I replaced mine and the speedo is still not doing anything
I replaced the one at the diff, the one at the transmission as well, and still got nothing as well. Got no codes or anything either so... good times!
Got a 2001 with the same issue . New sensor and nothing. Abs light on
Did you guys reset the computer after installing new parts?
