the entire instrument cluster works except for the speedometer/odometer
(don't know if this helps but)
the other things that don't work are the horn and the cruise and the aux. port (cigarette lighter works fine) and hazzard lights

I have tested all my wires going to the sensors and they are fine.
I have replaced all the sensors and the cluster.
I have checked the voltage to the vss...... (5 volts on both sides of the ground)
I have even ran a wire (white/orange stripe) straight from the vss to the speedometer.... and still have nothing

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! HELP.... BEFORE I GO INSANE....lol (to late i think)

You could straight wire the speedometer to a gps sending unit lol. This one is weird I don't know what to tell you unless it's a short somewhere. Even then it should've been revealed when you straight wired the vss. Have you looked at the gear in the transfer case yet? Maybe it's missing some teeth.
