Here's what's up with the old girl now. I drive for 5-6 miles and the odometer goes out, the O/D light flashes and the speedometer is either 0 or pegged. I can feel it starting to act up from the feel of the transmission, it feels like it's dropping in and out of O/D but not getting a light. If I keep driving the odometer and speedo eventually come back and work normally. The tach works fine. I changed out the VSS a while back for another reason, so that's new. I have another Motorcraft one coming just to be sure it's not a junk VSS. I've also checked the wiring from the sensor and everything looks good. It's been parked since this happened more than once to save any trans troubles.
Oh, and the ABS light doesn't come on.
Edit: I pulled the codes, 29 came up, which is "insufficient input from VSS". Could the VSS make the odometer go out, not throw an ABS light, and make the speedo peg in both directions?
Thoughts?
