VSS signal requirements I have a 2005 5.3L in my 74 GMC Jimmy with a T350 trans. I plan on using the Dakota Digital VHX cluster which can use the speed and tach signal from the 2005 PCM. I spoke with a rep from DD and he told me my computer would require a 120,000 ppm signal for this set up to work. I've read all over this board that the DD 8K sender units works for the vss signal to the pcm. Obviously 120K and 8K is a big difference. My question is, is the 8k sender just letting the PCM know the vehicle is moving but not giving an accurate speed, can't the PCM ppm value be changed? Thanks for any input.

Cruise control with drive by wire DOES NOT work correctly with the 8K sensor, seems the 8k signal is not high enough resolution and you end up with a pulsating feeling from the cruise control.
