Both went out at the same time. Not sure where to start looking for a fix.

Sure, 9 times out of 10 it will be the VSS which is located at the case near the passenger side axle output, Also, once the sensor is removed check the drive gear as well, these can strip out and not drive the sensor. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
