Hi There.
Does Anyone Know If You Can Replace A Vssb With A Drac? Or Vise A Versa.

DRAC - speed sensor for the old GM EFI systems, B4 OBD1

Why would you want to?

And ease up on the caps, dude - yer hurtin' my eyes...................

That's probably the sensor in the transfer case - pull the connector, check it for dirty, oxidation, corrosion, etc.

If all ok, probably need to replace the sensor - VSSB seldom fails, and they're all the same in the 6.5 vehicles.

A set of jumper wires changes the ratio to fit any wheel\tire\diff combination.

And welcome to the forum.

The front sensor on the trans goes to the PCM only - the rear sensor is unused in the Z71 4wd systems.

The sensor in the transfer case connects to the VSSB for speedo, cruise, RWABS, 4WABS, etc

A dirty\bad connection will give same symptom as a failed sensor, so always check for that, first.
