Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ALONG RT. 837 HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK, GOING ABOUT 45 MPH, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL OF THE GAUGES ON MY DASH WENT BLANK AND MY SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO. THEN A BIG ORANGE WRENCH APPEARED ON MY DASH. THE TRUCK DROPPED INTO FIRST GEAR AND I HAD VERY LITTLE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO TURN MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING REAR ENDED. I ENDED UP MAKING IT TO WORK, WHICH WAS ABOUT 3 MINUTES AWAY, IN FIRST GEAR. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE ALL OF THE GAUGES WERE WORKING AGAIN. I MADE IT HOME FINE THAT DAY AND AN ADVANCED AUTO SCAN OF THE VEHICLE BROUGHT UP NO CODES. TWO DAYS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OCCUR ON RT. 30 HIGHWAY AND I HAD A SCAN TOOL I HAD BOUGHT WITH ME. I GOT 2 CODES, (P0720, P0722) BOTH RELATING TO THE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT.
