   I am not familiar with Toyota names for the American market but my UK   
   '94 Hilux truck can be  affected by salt laden road dirt. The symptom is   
   intermittent speedo operation with the needle swinging between zero and   
   actual road speed. With the number of speed cameras operating here, this   
   can be quite a worry.   
      
   A clean round the sender area appears to have cured the problem.
