best place to get 4wd light sensor and speedo gear?

When I rebuilt my transfer case bout a month ago when i put my 47rh in, my speedo gear that went into the transfer case snapped in half. Theres 3 pieces that the speedo has, there is the first piece small gear that goes inside the output shaft housing of the transfer case that is turned by the ring gear(not sure exactly what it is called) that is turned by the output shaft. That piece screws onto the center piece that is a rectangular plastic piece that has at least two small gears in it. That plastic case broke in half on mine, and one gear fell out. It was a clean enough break that i epoxied it back together and its workin as of now. That piece then screws into the speed sensor that has the plug going into it. I looked at carquest, napa, and online for the speedo gear piece that I broke, but haven't had any luck. Napa told me it was a dealer only part but i haven't checked with the dealer yet cuz i'm afraid of the price it will be plus my local dodge dealer isn't the best... Carquest could come up with the speed sensor for $50ish but I didn't really need that part. So i'm wondering where the best place to get this speedo gear is or what the part # is. Or if you can buy a whole kit with all 3 speedo pieces.

I also want to change my 4wd light sensor that goes in the top of the transfer case. It hasn't worked for years and I believe thats the culprit, so I was wondering where to get that or what the part # for that was as well. Napa and carquest couldn't come up with that either. Thanks in advance

It sounds like you're looking for a ratio adapter. PATC can make you one that will match your tires and gears so your speedometer even reads right. Theirs have a metal case and can be disassembled to change ratios later.

PATC

Rockauto has the 4wd indicator switch. It's under the "Electrical- Switch & Relay" category.

Is the switch come with a new connector to solder into the wiring?

I think the connector on my truck has two spades that form a "T" whereas the options shown come with straight hole plug connectors.

I'm fine with buying something I need to do a little wiring work for, but just want to make sure I'm not missing something.
