Great info, thanks. I have no mechanical symptoms to speak of. The speedo dial illustrates what auto gear I am in, the speedo arm does not move, and the distance travelled, though illustrated, does not increase.

Check your under hood grounds - my speedo used just stop working, then would work then would stop. Took me a couple of days of checking connections. I found a ground near the under hood fuse box was very loose tightened it up no speedo problems since.

Speedometer - vehicles with ATC
The instrument pack is connected from pin C0230-16 on a KG wire via splice joint A87 and
header C0290 to pin C0504-3 on the SLABS ECU. The SLABS ECU sends a speed signal
to the instrument pack via this connection.

In addition to grounds as Richard suggested you may need to check/clean some connectors. For this speedo issue at SLABS, header and inst. pack. Nice to be able to use another device for for speed read outs these days. Good luck.

Used my winch for the first time, unfortunately...it wasn't for a recovery. Neighbor sold an old vette and we used the rover's winch to pull it on the trailer.

I have used mine several times to move the dumpsters around at work.

Pulled two stuck vehicles out, an 4X4 F350 super duty and a Ford mini van. We've received about fourteen inches of snow over the last three days, so we took a ride today to see the sights. Ended up doing a couple good deeds.

Bingo! Mostly completed. I would like to eventually carpet the whole thing, and I'm praying the whole thing fits because I may or may not have taken the measurements in a sleep deprived state.

I will also add fold down seats to the box so I can still have seats but also retain the entire flat surface. Fear not, the container will be fastened down. I also plan to add latches for the doors.
