"Vehicle speed sensor
The vehicle speed sensor is located on the transfer box behind the transmission brake. The unit has a multirole as the vehicle electronic speedometer sensor and as a sensor for ’surge damping’, (a function which smooths out engine response to sharp accelerator movement and reduces vehicle ’bucking’)."

Page 234 of the D1 workshop manual.

Cruise not working most of the time is bad vacuum line.

If your VSS was bad you'd likely have other problems like a non-functioning speedometer or a truck that won't hit speeds over 40 mph.

FWIW, it is on the left hand side of the transfer case, just in front of the parking brake drum/cylinder.
