[jerry1951]

i purchased a replacement for mine at autozone.
the one i got looks nothing like what is on the truck.
not even close. the new one has a long shaft and small
dia. the one in the truck is lot shorter and larger
dia.it is a 2 wheel drive and 6 cyl.maybe i was given the wrong part? is this possible? it cost a bit over 21.00 with tax
i am going to take both in to them to see what is going on.
anyone else ever have this happen??

i just got off the phone with a parts store another one. what i took off the truck was the abs sensor
i was told the speed senson used to be in the tranny but was changed and was in the rear end
but it isn't on my truck looks like unless there was a mixup. the speed sensor is still in the tranny and abs is in the rear end looks like
end of story i guess lol

The transmission speed sensor IS in the tranny, but the ABS/Speedometer/Odometer/Cruise Control all use the ABS Sensor in the rear differential.
