* Automatic Transmission: The speed sensor is typically located on the top or side of the transmission case. It's a fairly small sensor, often with a single wire connector. You'll likely need to get under the truck to access it.
* Manual Transmission: With a manual transmission, the speed sensor is usually located on the tail housing of the transmission, near the driveshaft. Again, access requires working underneath the vehicle.
To pinpoint the exact location:
1. Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual specific to your year and model truck will provide diagrams and detailed instructions. This is the most reliable method.
2. Use an online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to select your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine, and then view diagrams showing the location of parts. Search for "speed sensor" in the diagram.
Without knowing your transmission type, it's impossible to give a more precise answer. Remember to be careful when working under your truck and use jack stands for safety.
