Check vehicle speed sensor and wiring to it
Check the cable first. It connects into the driver side rear of the transmission tail. Remove the cable from the transmission...
you shoud see a short section that was farther into the trans, and that piece will go into a small plastic gear.
check those for damage.
the end of the cable should spin freely with fingers.
if not spinning, broken off, or the plastic gear is damaged, it's a pretty easy fix.

Mine did the same thing the speedometer modal went bad. If It has less than 75,000 miles the dealer will replace it for free.

The wiper motor,is most likely the problem,when they don`t work,bump the motor with your hand,if they start working,the motor needs to be replaced.

The Vehicle Velocity sensor is located at the tail-shaft of the transmission on the drivers side. It's common for the wire leads to get damaged by corrosion or the sensor it self. Note: when there is a problem with that sensor, you will also experience Transmission problems like not shifting and a check engine light on the dash. Without that being mentioned I'm going to say it's your gauge cluster that has gone bad.
That is good news that:.
GM
has had a issue with the clusters in the
2003-2005 trucks. The cluster will be replaced for free for your truck
if it has less then 70k miles. I would take it to your local dealer
and tell them that the voltage gauge sticks at times. They should order
one for you, takes 1-2 days and replace it for you at no charge. If
this does not fix the problem, you will have a new cluster at no
charge.Unless the battery light comes on, the alternator should be
good. This is a copy of the GM bulletin.

These are oil cooler lines and there are 2 sets of 2 and should be replaced, Fairly easy but messy. If one blows apart you run the risk of causing severe engine damage.

You shouldn't have to replace the whole shaft. Go to auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts and tell them you need the Rear u-joint for the Drive Shaft of that vehicle and they should have it. The replacement process is a little tedious but can be done. Get the Haynes repair Manual on your vehicle, while your there at the Auto parts store, and look up the Drive Shaft. It will tell you how to remove, inspect and if needed replace the U-Joints on your drive shaft. If in fact for some reason, and I have never seen or heard of this, the U-Joints can't be replaced the Manual will tell you. Because they are usually pressed in on the shaft itself some say you have to replace the whole thing but they can normally be removed with a little muscle.
