When I start my truck, the ABS and brake light comes on. As I accelerate, the speedometer and tachometer jumps up and down and the engine revs like it is stuck in gear. It is using a lot more fuel. The speed sensor has been replaced. What else can I try?

Is it shifting? Is the trans slipping? Has the check engine light come on? If the ABS light is on, have you scanned the computer to see if there are codes stored.

Here is a video to show you how

It is shifting and the lights come on after it is started then it starts with the jumping speedometer and the engine revving? So I changed the VSS and it fixed it
