Speed sensor and tranny id

[PAPA BEAR]

Good evening all. got a question- 99 f350 7.3l-- speed sensor, is there more than one? The parts place gave me one that goes in the tranny but i cant find one there. looked up info and found there was one on the diff. found that one but the parts store doesnt handle that one. its different than the one i got. are there more.
second one -- how do i id my tranny model?

The only speed sensor I know of is the one on the rear axle. Is it a automatic E4od/4R100 is pretty much the same or could be zf5 speed or zf6 speed

The VSS is located in the rear differential, the transmissions used that year were the 4R100 automatic and the ZF6 is the manual.

thanks mike guess i need to reread the rules and stuff! 1deiselman thats the part i have but its not the one for the diff sensor i couldnt find that one anywhere i crawled under the truck for about 30 minutes lol could only find the one in the diff. it has one plug and a bolt hole thats it.

Are you saying you found the one in the differential? This part# is the one that goes in the differential. Aftermarket may look a little different than stock.

The 4R100 has a sensor located the top close to the front of the tranny. If you can get your hand up their you will find it.

I would doubt that sensor will give you a problem.

Try changing the VSS first and see what happens.

mine looks like the abs speed sensor napa model demss10311 i cant find the other one anywhere on the tranny top or bottom i have the same one you sent me and its not on my truck the only thing i can find on the diff is the one i posted above. any ideas im lost lol

 

[1dieselman]

Well that one looks like the one in both my 94 and 97. I wonder if their pictures are screwed up

check out pt# vss743 that's for a 97. I know that 99 broke the rules on everything
