Max really is on a pretty high level of technical knowledge lol

You should see the fuel pump control setup he designed/built. It really is superb. Only problem is simplifying it for us mere mortals ! lol

Hey everyone, still working at it. We were going to test the electronics last weekend but invader59 caught a upper respiratory infection. So he is on sick leave. When he can get to my place and test it we will post the results. Maybe this weekend. The test speedo is at 99,959 miles and I turned it off for now. I want it to roll over when invader59 is here.

finally out of the woods, docs finally fixed me up with some antibiotics and wicked crazy narcotic cough syrup. Not the greatest timing I'm behind schedule, but let's see if I can't get this thing back on track. Sorry for the delay guys

Take care of yourself first or the people will never get a doohickie.

When I'm ready I'll use the GPS until your system is ready to go, then I'll be stylin'.

Since I have 4 swaps in the works and am thinking about swapping my wife's TJ, I definitely want to pay attention to this thread.

I have a '37 Chevrolet with a 5.3 and 4l60 E. I've already ordered the X-box but haven't received it yet and I'd gladly send it back if one of these could work to keep my stock speedo setup.

so would that signal be the same on a 01 silverado 4.8 pcm? i stuffed one in my 68 impala fastback, and built a custom gauge bezel filled with classic instruments gauges, need to calibrate pcm for 3.08 gear and a 255 35 20 tire then calibrate speedo on dash to match it, pcm no problem, but classic doesnt send much for info, its all online.but i am using vss output from pcm to run dash speedo.looks like i may need a converter box for it

Sounds like you need to get the computer tuned before you continue. find someone to set it up for your rear gear and tire size then go from there.

As JB said we are in the R&D phase but we are close. You would not need to send in your speedo, our conversion will bolt right up to your original. We will keep you informed.
