Anyone change this unit out. I purchased VSS from nathan and looking for pointers on replacing this.
Is this difficult to replace? |

Easy replacement, one hex socket capscrew. Disconnect the electrical connector, unscrew the screw, remove unit, wipe area, place new unit, insert screw, tighten hand tight.
Re-attach electrical connector.

Al, if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for speed transducer? Also, do you have a part #? I think mine is about go and will need to replace as well. Also where is it located? Thanks

Hey Al,
It's easy if you have the rover on a lift. otherwise it's a pain in the butt to see it. And it's awkward to actually turn the allen wrench becuase of all the stuff in the way. I know - i did it a month ago. everyone who says it's easy is lying. but don't take my word for it. try it and see.
Do yourself a favor get it lifted somehow. Jacks aren't enough. |

I didn't even jack the truck up. I do have OME HD springs and 32" tires. If you have some sort of shop light that helps a lot. But honestly it took me longer to select the right allen wrench than it did to do the job.
cheers

Thanks,

my chance?
I already install myself OME HD springs and then later installed 1 inch spacers. Dealership wants $250 to install. I firgured i needed to bond more with my disco. |

Just an update, I use a 5mm hex wrench and exchanged the VSS in 15 mins. Dealer wanted $250 to replace including part. Cost me $65 and no blood. For anyone thinking about doing it in the future, consider the front North and work at in a (head)west and legs east direction. Thanks for information guys. |
