Default Speedo not working, tried everything, need suggestions on what it could be

truck is an 01 3.0 and the motor has been changed out, I think computer as well, I've tried OSS, VSS, changing the cluster, nothing works.

The speedo, odo, and anything cruise related does not work, the only other thing I can think of is the GEM module, but I'd like to know if you have any other suggestions before I go sinking my money into the dealership trying to fix it.

I also thought of another option, just ignoring the speedo/odo issue completely and buying a tuner with a monitor and just using that for my speed and diagnostics, but I know virtually nothing about performance chips and tunes, if any of you have any experience with them or know any good ones that come with a monitor and also please give me your opinion on whether it's a good idea or not.

Thanks in advance!

I know this is a very easy and basic thing, but you didn't mention it, so sorry in advance for asking... did you check fuses?

Try checking the fusable links. a guy named ChrisFix on youtube has a video on 'em. I don't recall much from the video but I know it did affect his speedometer at least.
