is your speedo acting up? like not working until about 25 or 30 mph? if so, it's most likely the RWSS(rear wheel speed sensor) located in the top of the center section of the rear differential.

Check your parking brake ... if its down just a little and turning the switch on it will cause the ABS light to come on when you start to drive. Unplug the switch and restart the truck and see what happens.. if it goes out .... you found your problem... if not ... you will have to have it scanned ..... i don't think the "self test" system reports the ABS codes .... but I may be wrong

I just went through this last week, all of a sudden the parking brake light and abs light came on shortly followed by the check engine light and the speedo stopped working. I read other peoples testimonies on here and they had slightly different symptoms with the speedo, but all seemed to be the abs sensor on top of the rear differential. I replaced mine and all was well. About 35 bucks for the sensor. Hint: drop the spare tire and work from the back its an easier access point then trying to stick your head between the muffler and drive shaft.
