so by the ABS sensor, you are all referring to the little sensor with thte rubber end that is on the top of your rear diff like the one i have pictured in this link http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=329092 (not the part in the bag)?
i was sold a 20 tooth gear in the bag by my ford dealer but when i got home i found out this part is not compatible with my truck. i have a 03 SPORT TRAC XLT and found out my ABS sensor and speedo are the same thing (which is the greasy piece in the picture on the link i left above).
my ABS light came on about a week after i slapped some 33"s on my rig. i noticed that my tranny was shifting a little late and my cruise control was acting funny too. i figured the bigger wheels were throwing off the speedo and later confirmed that by hitting the freeway and using the GPS on my smart phone. found out my speedo was off by about 3 MPH. so i went to my ford dealer to get my speedo problem fixed, and they sold me this little 20 tooth plastic speedo gear for about 5 bucks, and told me the ABS sensor was located on the rear calipers but it turns out this was all wrong. the little sensor i pulled from the top of my diff was both the ABS and the speedo sensor.
so my questions are:
by ABS sensor, you are referring to that little piece that is on the top of the diff that has the little rubber end on it (the one i have pictured in the link)?
if so, do i try to by a replacement ABS/speedo sensor first before i try to get someone to reprogram the speedo with an NGS?
will replacing the speedo sensor fix my speedo being off by 3 MPH?
thanks fellas.
