Still cant get the speedometer to work.

What is your question?

I have replaced both sensors, (1 on trans. & 1 on rear axle. I tried a different Instrument cluster. I even replaced the ignition. It still doesn't work. I do not see a sensor on the left front wheel. This is a 2wd. I am lost. Can anyone tell me where to look next?

Can we back up for just a sec... Was your ABS failure light on when the speedo wasn't working? If not, neither the rear end ABS sensor, nor any front wheel ABS sensor, is at fault. You said you replaced the sensor on the tail of the trans. Did you check the wiring there for power and ground first? Our shop has had the misfortune of chasing a similar issue on a 97 model Ram 1500 only to find the ECM at fault; rare to replace a computer, but it happens.

No the abs wasn't on. That is why I started at the sensor at the tail of the trans and the wiring that i could get to.. Since that didn't fix the problem i moved to the one on the rear end and so on. So if i do a computer diagnostic it should throw up a fault code for the computer being bad. All other gauges are working including the tac.
