Re: speed indicators
I don't play with trucks very often, but here's my generic info.
The wheelspeed sensors themselves are usually cylinders, often with a tab on the side to mount with a bolt, and generally don't have visible individual wires coming off of them. The wires are sheathed or jacketed, sometimes armored depending on the sensor type and location. Basically look for a cable, not individual wires.
Finding the sensor is generally easy, the ABS encoder is usually a ring about 1/4" wide mounted somewhere along the length of each shaft, often close to the hub. The ring looks like a gear with square or trapezoidal teeth (instead of triangular teeth like most gears that mesh with other gears). Good luck.
If you're looking for problems, make sure to check that the encoder rings are not loose or cracked. I've seen a few cars have encoder rings come loose and bash the sensor. I had an old school Maxima way back in the day that had a cracked encoder ring and busted 2 sensors before I tracked it down.
