changed both cv axles and now no speedometer
 
I spent yesterday and today changing both of the CV axles with some new ones I got From EV Technical. Axle swap was pretty easy, but after I got done this afternoon and took it for a spin, the speedometer showed 0 MPH the whole time. It was working before.

Anyone know where the speed sensor is or why it could have stopped working suddenly?

Thanks,
Don

Found the issue with the speedometer. The speedometer sensor is mounted to the frame right under the CV axle on the right-hand side next to the front transfer case. Apparently it's magnetic and Tomberlin has glued a small magnet to the CV axle housing to trip the sensor. I never noticed it before, it is on the old axle but not the new axle, so I guess Tomberlin expects you to tear it off the old axle and adhere it somehow to the new one...

I found today that the new CV Axles do have the hole drilled and internally capped to accept the magnet, so I was able to glue a new magnet in and the speedometer is working perfectly again! apparently the bullseye under the magnet is for alignment of the magnet.
