I decided to post this in here, as the axle page didnt get any replies..
It's an easy install, but once I pop it out of its sealed motorcraft bag it's mine so...
I recently replaced my OSS or VSS (or abs or whatever) with a crappy AutoZone one, and it's been almost a year, and my trucks acting odd. Strange shifting when decelerating etc etc. Well I've gone to the conclusion its either the MAF (which is a junk yard MAF since mine took a dump a lil over a year ago) my coil pack (which is a AutoZone coil since the oem one died a year and a half ago) or my torque converter based on my symptoms. ANYWAY the OSS (VSS/ABS) I just bought which was guaranteed to fit, is like a hex , when my old one was a circle...
Here's the old with the new
and just the new..
what gives...?
ive done a ton of research and all ive found out is this is referred to as like 10 different sensors denpending on whos describing or selling..
its either a Vehicle Speed Sensor, or an Output Shaft Sensor, or an ABS Sensor.. I dont know what this thing is. The only thing I know is it is a different shape then the stock one.. ANY help is appreciated.
