Went for a junkyard run. Scored a couple speed sensors, TPS, MAP sensor, IAC valve, and a spare E-fan.

Another junkyard run: scored two extra VSS’s, throttle body sensors and a fairly new e-fan.

A view of the speedometer ring gear on the tail shaft of the transfer case. A bit hard to tell here but I later realized the teeth were deformed.

There’s nothin’ like tearing into the work you just finished! I was cursing myself for using so much RTV.

Here the damage to the ring gear is a little more visible. The teeth are worn on the end, just enough for the speedometer gear teeth to become misaligned.

While I had the housing off, I was reading through Advanced Adapter’s installation instructions and realized I missed a step when I first installed the SYE. Note the gap between the bearing race and the seat on the housing. This was supposed to be pressed in and secured with a retaining ring. Not sure how I missed this, but lucky that I caught it here.
