Default Dakota Digital BIM-01-2 question

I’m not sure if this is the correct area to post this but I assumed a lot of people doing LS swaps may be changing out the gauges also. If there is anyone using the BIM-01-2 with their gauges what all information does it send to the cluster ? My setup is a 2001 LS1 with matching factory harness and ECM. I’m just trying to decide if it’s worth the extra $110, I would like for the gear indicator to work but if the factory computer does not supply that information I will buy the DD gear position sensor instead.

Thanks

It will give you speedometer, tach, coolant temp and a check engine light. Fuel and oil pressure will need their own senders. Some people say the shift indicator will work, but didn't on my 2001 LS1 so I bought the sender for it and it works great now.

Thanks for the reply. Think I will wire the gauges up the standard way and then just buy the gear indicator module.

What transmission do you have? When I was using a 4L80E with the factory shifter module thing on side of trans the gear selector worked on my Dakota gauges..

E40 ecm ls2/t56 and I don't have gear indicator but have all the normal stuff plus iat's. My tuner adjusted the tire size while tuning and the speedo works perfect compared to GPS.

With the 4l60e it should work as long as you have the factory black module that bolts over the shift rod on side of trans that the engine harness plugs into.

Mines doesn’t have the black module on the side, had that before on a 4l80 maybe it’s just for those.
