Just to let you know , my dashboard went black , everything still worked , cruise , blinkers , etc. so when I got home I opened up the frunk and removed the back panel and removed the positive side of the 12 volt battery and reconnected , that worked , I guess it rebooted the system ! Thank God !!!

I hope your truck wasn't going through a ~soft impact /driveable ~ update when you did that!

Everyone should be cautious about pulling power immediately after an unusual incident, it could lead to bigger problems.

You may want to try a reboot by pressing the Volume down and Channel Right buttons at the same time (the lower, outer buttons on the left and right sides of the steering wheel controls) - this will cause the infotainment to reset - not sure if it will help with the speedometer display but wanted to suggest anyway.
