Back in December I drove from San Diego, CA to Salem, OR. About 100 miles north of SD, my odometer just stopped counting miles. Both the trip and main ones quit at the same time. The speedo still works though and so does the cruise and everything else related to speed and distance. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure that the only possible problem can be the speedo. head itself.

Are there different inputs to the speedo and odometer? How can one work and not the other?

The odometer runs off the speedometer. The speedometer runs of the vehicle speed sensor.

so, since the speedo works and odometer doesn't, do I need a new instrument cluster?

I have the same problem on my 96 5.0. The problem is with the plastic gears somewhere inside the speedo. I found a local guy here in San Antonio that can repair it. The problem is i'll have to remove it and take it to him. Will post results if and when it can be repaired.
