is your abs light on? Big t's right, but your abs unit could be messed up, the speedo reading comes through there.

I've replaced both sensors, the one in the tranny and the one in the rear axle...
so where do I find the ABS unit to replace it??

No speedo, & no odo readings either.

1998 5.9 in mine...

It could be possible that the wiring to the sensor is buggered. I wouldn't replace the abs unit. If the abs doesn't see the signal from the sensor it will set a code and the abs light. The abs unit is located under the hood on the drivers fender. You can't miss it. It's right at the back.
