[V8] V8 Maiden Voyage

[bblake1055 at aol.com]

When mine did that it was the speedo sensor in the trans.? It also stopped the MPG on the computer from working. which does not seem to be the case with yours since it was reading 24.5 MPG

Nope. No other symptoms.  Gas and coolant gauges and all others are working
100%.

Did your gas & coolant gauges stop as well?
 But could be the sensor on the driver side inner
CV/trans flange. Is there any oily crud there ect? 
Could be an instrument cluster problem with the board.
The 3.6's still had instrament cluster issues. My
wife's was possessed & I put a 4.2 board in there...no
issues for round 6months now.
