ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTING SEVERAL MONTHS AGO MY SPEEDOMETER WILL SLOWLY INCREASE THE VEHICLES DISPLAYED SPEED UNTIL IT PEGS AT OVER 120MPH. THERE IS NO EFFECT ON THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED SETTING. IE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT INCREASE IT'S SPEED ALTHO THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATES YOU ARE GOING FASTER. THE RPM DOES NOT CHANGE. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL READINGS. LAST HAPPENING INDICATED BELOW.

BRAKE LINES BROKE WHILE DRIVING AND EXHAUST SYSTEM REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. THE WHOLE UNDER BODY FRAME, DRIVE TRAIN HAS EXCESSIVE RUSTING.
