ABS light on?
Any codes in ForScan?
What does your VSS PID value do when driving?
Do your brake lights work properly - especially the Center High Mount Stop Lamp?
Instrument Cluster testing (to see if the speedometer needle will actually move because sometimes they bind and stick):
ODO display testing - you can display the real-time digital information from many things - most notably, Temp, Speed, RPM, and many many others.
There seems to be a slight difference in the way to enter based on model year. I have an 06. With the key OFF, press & hold the Trip/Reset button (Press Setup and Reset buttons at the same time on KR and Lariat editions). While holding the button(s) in, turn the key to the ON position (but do not start it yet). When the word "TEST" comes up, release the button(s) and start the engine. By pressing the Trip/Reset button (reset button for the KR and Lariats) you can cycle through all the things that can be displayed. I have read (have not verified) that on older models, follow the same procedure but instead of the "'TEST" coming on the word "GAGE" comes on, the gauges will then swing to full scale then back. Release the button at that time.
On the KR and Lariat models: You have to hold the Setup and Reset buttons at the same time, then turn key to on - you will see TEST and as soon as you do, let off the buttons and then start the truck - press reset to cycle thru all the options...
GAGE - Carries out gauge sweep (or gage sweep) of all gauges, then displays the present gauge values. Also carries out the check sum test on ROM and EEPROM.
Lastly - this may be applicable for the cruise control:
