Consumer Description

DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WENT TO 5 MPH, THEN TO 0. LATER IN THE SAME TRIP, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 60, (VERIFIED BY GPS), SPEEDOMETER SHOWED SPEEDS FROM 50 DOWN TO 8MPH. NO WARNING BEFORE FAILURE, EXCEPT FOR A BARELY NOTICEABLE TREMOR OR LACK OF SMOOTHNESS IN THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 36000 MILES ON IT. ON NEXT DRIVE, SPEEDOMETER WAS OK FOR THE 20 MINUTES. THE DRIVE AFTER, RANDOM SPEEDS FROM STARTUP. NO CORRECTIVE WORK DONE YET, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE SERVO MOTOR DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER, OR THE ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR
