I think you replaced the wrong sensor, here is where the manual says the sensor it which is on the upper side of the transmission adapter for the transfer case.

P0500 code Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) - No Signal

This is what it looks like and how to change it out. Be sure to clear the codes once completed. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes
