recheck where the speedo cable goes into the trans......maybe it's loose, pull it out and reinstall, check the c-clip that holds it on too.

5 minute check...if it's chewed even a little get a new one, was it replaced for the 4.10's or are you waaaaaaaaay off

21 t is purple and the highest count ford unit you can get. 21t's are only for 3.27's though , so you'll be about 20% error (thats a guess)
