Dan:  Could well be the angle drive.  My speedometer quit just as I was 
leaving Lake Tahoe in 2004.  140 miles later plus driving another 117 miles, 
I pulled the tunnel out and found that the metal plug on the end of the 
angle drive had come out.  All the parts were laying on the frame below the 
drive.  Cleaned and reassembled, it is still working.  Of course, there are 
other possibilities that you will be made aware of by others on The List.
