You must've tried the dealer, though it's funny they can't get you one. I searched LMC Truck and they don't have one either. Looking like your going to have one custom made. If I may, where all did you check??

You're not finding it because it doesn't exist, your truck has an electronic speedometer with a sending unit mounted on the transfer case. AFAIK, only the 89's are cable drive.

Its 2 wd and has a place for the cable to screw on. I didnt think about pulling head unit and checking it. Maybe this thing has a donor trans in it. I will pull the dash and see whats up.

That would be the place for the vss to go. In diesels only the 89 had the cable driven speedo and it went to 85 mph. It also had 5 digit odometer. Back to zero after 99,999. The 90 and up ones had the 6th digit odometer and a higher speed dial.

SO ITS ALL FIGURED OUT. The vss was a screw on unit. every time we pulled one out for a 93 it was a press in vss. looked up for a 92 and wala problem fixed. Now all i have to do is caslibrate it. It reads 90 mph when i am going 50. errrrrr.
