thanks for all the help then guys.

 

ok well where on the tranny is that? cause the one that i was told and showed was the vss was the one in my picture.

 

Not having a '96 ... now I'm not sure WHAT you have under there. I have seen the sensor I showed you called the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) and the Output Speed Sensor (OSS). The speed sensor(s) is (are) located on the drivers side of the truck. The one I showed you is around the center of the transmission (exists on my '98 though ignored). You should also have a sensor towards the rear of the tranny on the tailshaft ... perhaps the one you are talking about. What do the connectors on that side of the tranny look like? Take your clues from there.

Also, look here: http://www.transmissioncenter.net/sp...n_______va.htm

About halfway down the page, all the drive gears and sensors are listed. I didn't see anything like what you showed. PATC calls the sensor I pictured the OSS and says it's for '96+ trannys.

 

thanks tms sry if im kinda being a pain but i do appreciate the help.

 

Your correct TMS. That ones at the very end of the tranny on the drivers side. It's the one thats immediately after the VSS that you showed a pic of first.

 

Relax, you're not being a pain. Dodge was, when they put 3 speed sensors in your truck when, clearly, one would suffice.

 

Thanks for chiming in ... maybe now we can put these questions to rest.

94-95 - 42/46/47RH
96-01 - 42/46/47RE

94-97 - three speed sensors
98-01 - two speed sensors (one not used)

Did I miss anything?

 

well i just got done replacing the vss and everything works now. havent tried the cruise control yet but will tomorrow. thanks for all the input guys it was a big help.

 

So you changed out the rearmost transmission sensor? The one in the tailshaft ... with the gear drive?

 

yup got under there took out the bolt pulled the sensor out popped the new in and then put then soldered the new harness on. its just like the one in my attachment in post 12.

but i just replaced the sensor didnt do anything with the gear or the adapter.
