Q1: will a 1995 440 snopro be able to beat me off the line??
Q2: 2002 articat 500 mountain 136"..... thoughts (good, bad, terrible?) and how will my sled fare against it?
Q3: my odometer, tripmeter and speedometer stopped working today.... what should i check... and how hard is it to check?

Q1. I think you'll be fine, but there is only one way to know.
Q2. I hate Kitties, no coments here.
Q3. Most likely your speedo cable on the side of the driveshaft has gone bad. You have to remove the 3 bolts and inspect, you might need a new bearing at this point.
Q4. No I haven't seen one, cool idea tought...

If you tach and everything is not working it seems like something might have came loose on the cluster and not just the speed o housing.

tach still works
The three things all drive off the same part. So either the gauge went bad, the cable, or the speedo adapter at the driveshaft.
