Mounted to transfer case output housing near tranny brake backplate on drivers side. Tight spot. One allen head bolt. If your other parts trucks have their transfer cases your back in business.

The 3" lift on 255's won't help me but it'll sure help you to get under the truck.

The speed sensor is number one suspect, the ECU thinks you are driving faster than take off velocity. If you can't get it swapped, might try driving with it unplugged to see if the sputtering goes away.
