Don't spend the $
here is the info on da 900# (these 2 TSB's have the udated 800 #); it is ref to Pointer Waiver TSB 96-21-11 for 92-96
PSOM Pointer Waiver TSB 96-21-11 by Ford for 92-96
Programmable Speedometer/Odometer Module Pointer Waiver Article No. 96-21-11
ISSUE: The speedometer needle may waver and/or a light surge may occur on some vehicles when speed control is used
at highway speeds between 80-113 km/h (50-70 mph). This may be due to slight dents/chips in either the exciter ring
or the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) and air gaps between the VSS and the exciter ring.
ACTION: Replace the Programmable Speedometer/Odometer Module (PSOM) if required. New PSOM's come with increased immunity to system
variability. Refer to the following Diagnostic Procedure for details.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
BRONCO/F-SERIES - Perform normal PSOM diagnostics per Pinpoint Tests "H" and "J" of the 1996 F-Series/Bronco
Body/Chassis Service Manual, Pages 13-01-30 through 13-01-32 and Pinpoint "B" of the 1996 Powertrain/Drivetrain Service Manual,
Page 10-03-11.
1. Any slight dents, chips, etc., in either the exciter ring or VSS will create needle waver. Measure air gap between
the VSS and exciter ring. It should be 0.38-0.51 mm (0.015-0.020").
2. Check exciter ring runout per the same ring gear backface runout procedure of the appropriate model 1996
Powertrain/Drivetrain Service Manual, Section 05-00. Make sure the exciter ring is mounted correctly to the
ring gear. If runout is more than 0.1 mm (0.004"), perform the differential runout check per the procedure in the
appropriate model 1996 Powertrain/Drivetrain Service Manual, Section 05-02A or 05-02D, to find cause and repair as needed.
3. If all items listed above check good, replace the Instrument Cluster Assembly. Obtain the correct service part number from the Parts Catalogue
and then contact the Electronic Odometer Exchange Center at (800) 259-9700 for U.S. Dealers and (800) 663-9974 for Canadian Dealers.
NOTE: DEALERSHIP MUST TELL THE ODOMETER EXCHANGE CENTER THAT YOU NEED A PSOM3 LEVEL CLUSTER FOR A SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WAVER CONCERN.

-------
only dealers can exchange the PSOM/cluster via the Center; local dealer quoted about $400.00
but.......... they are avail at almost all yards....from $75.00 to $125.00
the clear plastic cover is generally not avail seperately from da cluster since most all yards won't part it out.. you can try anyway.
