IS THERE A CABLE AND CONNECTOR RUNNING TO THE BACK OF THE TRANSFER CASE?

Customer replied 1204 days and 2 hours ago.

Expert:  RICHE replied 1204 days and 2 hours ago.

OK I WILL TELL YOU THE MOST LIKELY CAUSES. MOST LIKELY IT IS GOING TO BE A BAD SPEED SENSOR OR CABLE THAT RUNS TO THE SPEEDOMETER UNLESS IT IS ELECTRONIC SPEEDO. THEN THE ONLY OTHER POSSIBILITY IS A BAD SPEEDOMETER IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. PLEASE ACCEPT MY ANSWER SO I MAY GET CREDIT FOR MY WORK.

THANKS

NO THAT WOULD BE A SEPERATE PROBLEM. THAT IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES.
