They never put a AODE in a van or a truck. They did have in later years the 4R70W (AODE-W) transmissions in them.
He said he has TV adjustments so he has the AOD.
But he dose not have any gears in the transmission for the speedometer in 1992 as that comes from the rear end sensor as baddad457 pointed out above.

He may need to plug the speedo hole on whatever he ends up with then. Lots of possible issues here to deal with, nothing insurmountable, but it may be better to get the one he's got now fixed.

You've got a 92, you may not have a speedo drive in that transmission. That would be the AODE transmission. The speedo gets it's input off of a ring gear inside the rearend. Measure your transmission from front to rear before going shopping for transmissions, that will save the guess work in that regard. I've never paid much attention to AOD's but most all I have seen looked to be the same length. Other Ford transmissions came in at least two tail lengths, so AOD's may have as well.
I have no clue about the vans but my '92 F-150 had the VSS connector on the trans, about the same spot as the old speedo cable hookup. And since I had to swap out linkages it was mechanically controlled.
The drive shaft was 2 sections as the truck was a supercab model, 138 inch wheelbase (same as the E-150, I believe).

The 1992 had the PSOM and the speed signal for the PSOM came from the rear end.

I do not know if any 91 had the single piece glass side windows or not but all of the 1992 Ford truck shop manuals and wiring diagrams show that the speed signal input is from the Differential Speed Sensor (DSS). None of them show any transmission speed sensors or cables.

It is very obvious from this discussion that just getting any ol' AOD from a salvage yard to install would be a very iffy project. Even the one I ordered came with the wrong linkage.

OK, I give what is a "steam gauge layout".
Sorry I have not heard of this term before.
Even though I have stood engine room watch on steam ships.

I have read lots of your info and it has always been spot on, that's why I am beginning to question if my brain is fading. My son just emailed that it is a '92 but he doesn't have the VIN with him to check.

One thing I know for sure about what Ford did or did not do in any year model is to "never say never" when it comes to the parts used. I've seen many instances where parts other than what was supposed to be there were used in production. As for the odometer, Ford went back to the mech style odometer at some point, I looked at a 98 or 99 e150 last year that was for sale, it had a mech odometer, not the LCD unit.
