Default Speedometer jumping

My speedometer bounces around, especially when it gets above 40. I changed the abs speed sensor on the diff as well as the output speed sensor on the transmission. Reset the PCM and no help.

I searched for other threads and the abs sensor seemed to fix their problems. I read somewhere else that they blew out the moisture in the abs controller connector and that helped. I'm going to give that a shot but I thought I would see if anyone has any ideas? Bad tone ring?

Edit: Forgot to mention that the abs and brake light will come on occasionally after driving a bit, but gone next time I start the truck.

Hmm ok. Just found your thread. Did you pay that shop to get it fixed or did you do it yourself?
