No transfer case... 2wd extension housing lol, but I hope they're all related that would be sweet. I'll take a look after this Ice storm! The speedometer works in reverse, but other than that it cuts out most if the time unless I'm in third, then it works like 80% of the time.

Fine then. No transfer case, rodents have chewed you wire near your 2WD extension housing lol

I had to swap a stock injector back in after one got stuck open. Had to drive 20 miles in traffic so the oil is fuel loaded to hell as well (Rotella T6 at that, which aint a cheap oil).

And its snowing like crazy, and its 7*F right now. :/

At least it was an easy fix I guess...

A short in other wiring can screw with the speedo. One time my sending unit sensor wires were touching bare and the speedo would jump all the way up and then proceed to read close to normal. Would happen everytime i pressed the gas.

Yeah, rarely (only a handful of times) It jumps all the way from 0 to past 100. Hopefully it's the sensor or the wiring which I should be able to fix, I don't want to end up like the guy who took his sensor out, only to find the gear had broken off inside the 2wd housing.

Ordered some autometer gauges, got some new speakers, and scored a roof rack off of Craigslist. Also ordered a keyless remote for the door locks

Drove it to a job interview in a ton of snow, ripped some 4wd donuts afterwards. Laughed at all the dorks in 2wd cars skirting about... Dropped my MTB shock off for warranty free fix (sweeeeet), and then I went to the beer store where I had store credit?!?! FREE BEER! IT FINALLY HAPPENED!

Changed the oil last night, noticed my oil pressure gauge was reading way above normal this morning on my way to work, any ideas why that might be? Drives fine, nothing seems out of the ordinary either

Most likely you whacked the sending unit when removing the filter.
