NOTE: THIS BULLETIN DOES NOT APPLY TO "AD" MODEL VEHICLES WHICH ARE EQUIPPED WITH A 5.9L CUMMINS DIESEL AND GETRAG TRANSMISSION, NOR VEHICLES WITH A MODEL 205 HEAVY DUTY TRANSFER CASE.

Symptoms:

Transmission fluid leakage may occur in the area of the speed sensor. This condition may be due to transmission fluid leakage at the O-ring seal located between the speed sensor housing and speedometer adapter. Transmission fluid may also wick through the electrical connector on the speed sensor and leak into the attaching electrical harness connector.  

Diagnosis: 

1. Inspect for transmission fluid leakage through the electrical connection of the speed sensor or between the speed sensor housing and speedster adapter.

2. If transmission fluid is present, then proceed with the repair procedure.
