Re: Speedometer not working and now Ck engine light HELP!

I'd drive it to an auto parts store and have them hook up a OBD code scanner. This will let you see what trouble code(s) are causing the CEL to come on.

If the problem lies with the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) then yes it could be the reason for the dead speedo and CEL.

BTW, welcome to AF albeit under not so happy conditions. Sorry you've had such bad luck with your truck, though it's hard to believe that a new fan clutch cost $1000 (a slight exaggeration?). Anyhoo, a trusted mech/tech is invaluable in these cases. You may be paying out the wazoo, but at least it'll only be one time.
