| Description of the problem | Was driving on interstate returning from saint louis. Noticed 'speed" kept getting lower and lower. Luckily, i had 2 gps devices in my car, and had to use them to determine my speed, as the speedometer eventually dropped below zero. I pulled off of the highway and restarted the truck, it didn't work. The speed initially showed about 40 mph below my actual speed, and then drifted back down to below zero for the rest of the trip. |
