And why are you using one from a TBI suburban? Is it more likely to have the VSS at the speedo head vs the transfer case. Thanks for the help!

The Suburbans are just more common and more years were available is all. The truck stopped in 87 when the Suburban kept using the same system through 89.

Seems like there are many more Suburbans in the wrecking yards than trucks too. I think people keep and fix up the trucks more often and give up on the Suburbans & junk them.
