Big Nasty!
You are going to want to change it! Just buy one now...
My speedo has done that before. After letting it sit for a long time the battery died, after jumping it off the speedo was acting all crazy just like that. Once I let the truck run for a little while everything cleared up.
Not sure exactly what caused it though. It's had a dead battery plenty of times before and never did that lol.

Its only there for ABS purposes, which you dont have any more. It may do something with the speedo to but its not needed. I never used it on my ranger. I cut it off at the frame.
I know for a fact that the VSS is on the tailhousing of the transmission on an 03.
Btw where did you get those ujoints for the steering shaft?

Those are flaming river ujoints. Found them on eBay. Part numbers are on page 13.

Picked up a new f350 master cylinder but having trouble finding the right adapters. Anybody know where to get the fitting for the M18 port? Going to pick up my driveshaft tomorrow so that fitting and shocks are the only thing holding me up now.
Still trying to figure out how to do the upper mounts.

The master cylinder I bought didn't have the proportioning valve. So I need something for that big M18 port. Gonna try the junkyard and dealer this weekend.
Those lower mounts were already on the axle and it just looks cool outside the frame.
You know it. Just need gears and front driveshaft for 4wd.

Outside the frame with the spring fully drooped and tire off the ground the shock measures 27". Then with the tire as stuffed as I can get it the shock measures 20.5". It can probably be stuffed a little more but not much I would think.
The shocks are 12"s, compressed 18" and extended 29.75". Think thats enough cushion to keep them from over-extending or bottoming out?
Im not certain, I mean I have 16" travel shocks and I can still bottom them out and fully extend in the rear. My shocks are mounted almost at cab window height. A little different scenario but similar. Do you think your leaf springs are soft? I dont know what springs you are running.

Probably could use a 14" shock but I think the 12" might work.

Went to the junkyard and found the fitting I needed. Got it all hooked up and broke a bleeder valve in the rear trying to bleed it. I was so ready to drive it today!!

Not yet. Tried getting that bleeder out with no luck. So I'm gonna pick up new calipers Thursday. Hoping to drive it this weekend.
Got her all cleaned up. Still got that shine!
