Vehicle Speed Sensor

For the past couple of hours I have been looking for my vehcile speed sensor and I can't find it anywhere, it is not on the rear diff, that is the abs sensor, and I can't find it on the transmission or t-case, I have a 351-w, e4od, borg warner 1356 electric shift tcase.

That ABS sensor on your rear diff is your VSS. It serves both functions.

But all the auto part stores that I have been to said that it has an independent vss and rear abs is standalone as well, but I bought a rear abs sensor for the truck when I was at the Auto Store so is that what I need?

All the auto parts stores you have been to are wrong. They are one and the same in your Bronco. Yes, that's what you need.

Touche Andy! I don't have enough fingers to count the mistakes guys behind the counters make on part names, compatibility etc. etc.

Simply pickup the VSS/ABS combo sensor, and remind the misinformed retail clerk that his information needs some proofing.

I'm with those guys. The parts guy at the counter isn't always correct

Hehehehe, I love stories like this thread... I wouldn't trust the guy behind the counter to know the difference between motor oil and Coca Cola if he TASTED it! But this is coming from someone who was told that there was no V8 available for his 92 Bronco because the guy looking up the injector part number didn't know the Bronco II and the Bronco were two different models and swore that the BII was the ONLY model available in 1992 and I had no idea what I was talking about!
