If you replaced the VSS and the wiring to the speedometer cluster is good, it sounds like the cluster itself is the problem.

hey um, if you still have the problem with the speedometer cluster i recommend you to check the fuse relay inside the truck, because my dad's 2002 Ford f250 speedometer cluster didn't work and he replaced the burned relay with a new on and then it started to work.
