I have replaced both the rear differential speed sensor and the magnetized
on the tailshft of the transmission and am still having problems with the
speedometer and odometer not working at all. Has hesitation and backfire
when running under pressure (at higher rates of speed). Any suggestions
would be welcome!!!!

Well... we know you're driving a '98+ Ram, or '97+ Dakota... but not much
else. Since most of us try and only use our powers of mental telepathy only
in cases of national emergency, it would save us all a lot of paperwork and
nosebleeds if you would describe your vehicle.

Thanks so much for all the great advise - now that you've allhad a laugh -
do you have any suggestions or should I goelsewhere??? I've read some of
the replies you all have posted for other problems and was pretty
confident when your names came up that you would be helpful - guess I was
wrong. Oh, and by the way, the truck is midnight purple!! Ha! Ha!

Wel there's your problem. Paint it red and it will run fine.

BTW have you checked for trouble codes?

Yes - I have checked trouble codes - they are indicating that the problem
is being caused by a "speed sensor malfuntion"

Then your best bet would be to check the wiring from the sensors to the
computer.
