    255 85 16's

    Cooper Discover ST MAXX on my 1031. 8 inch reproduction rims, 4 inch back space. Perfect fit, NO death wobble. Recently had a rare blizzard down here, perfect traction. Used 4WD for over 50 miles.

    I GUESS MY M1008'S Turbocharger is too small

    Wuhan War Whistles are good for one thing, mock up to make certain it will fit. AeroCharger charges more for their mockup kit but it is refunded when you pay the 25 hundred clams for their turbo. Not a bad deal, it's an interesting variable geometry design too.

    I GUESS MY M1008'S Turbocharger is too small

    What did you expect for 130 doll hairs? I've heard of Wuhan War Whistles for twice that off of Wish but dang did you dredge low on that price.

    I GUESS MY M1008'S Turbocharger is too small

    What is the engine speed when you are getting 7 PSI of boost? A turbo for a 3 liter gasoline engine that can do 6000 RPM is about right for a 6.2 liter engine turning over at 3600 RPM. Why? Diesel engines cannot have valve overlap, both valves must be closed before top dead center so...

    Need Help With Engine RPM Signal For TCM

    Front is TISS, rear is TOSS. That may or may not work as post 1998 models use integration between the engine and transmission via controller area network bus (CAN buss). Beyond my pay grade to know specifics.

    M1031 PTO gen high revving

    Search the archives. Sounds like the ramp signal is excessive. You need a good multimeter to diagnose since the frequency meter may or may not be good. Get one that measures frequency. Could also be the PTO Hall effect sensor, this requires an oscilloscope to diagnose. The frequency...

    Need Help With Engine RPM Signal For TCM

    The stock 4L80 transmission has the input speed sensor on the forward clutch. I have heard of some transmission where it is moved to the pump. The pump is driven off the torque converter shell so it is the same as the engine speed. I know TCI controllers need engine speed sensor.

    When should the GEN 2 Light be on? M1009

    The Hazard Fraught DVM is adequate, no need to buy a yellow oddball one for 500 doll hairs. I have two Klein DVMs, I had to get a clamp type to measure current and it served me well over our Valentines Day blizzard when power was out for days.

    When should the GEN 2 Light be on? M1009

    A multimeter should be in every tool box. It will tell you more than the stock voltmeter. The alternator regulator connection with the two wires? There is a latch on the front. Follow the alternator test procedure sticky on the top of this forum. The most likely cause of your problems...

    DSL-1E. It has been replaced by a combination module that also supports speedometer systems.

    Need Help With Engine RPM Signal For TCM

    The output of the Dakota digital tach module is a square wave, identical to that of a breaker point ignition V8 operating at the same speed.

    I traced this wire to inside the cab, branching off to connect to the Dakota Digital module for the tach signal. I forget where under the dash..

    Need Help With Engine RPM Signal For TCM

    No need to cut it off, just unplug and tie off. This terminal is provides an alternating current signal for the test port under the dash by where the civi radio would be. As Barrman stated, for the STE-ICE diagnostic tool. The only wires necessary for charge are the two wire plug and the...

    Need Help With Engine RPM Signal For TCM

    Certain transmission control modules use both engine tach and transmission input shaft speed differential to delay torque converter lock up when there is slip in the converter. If the engine tach signal is not calibrated correctly, it can prevent TC lock up or create harsh lockup.

    Need Help With Engine RPM Signal For TCM

    My finger is pointing to the terminal that is for the tach module buffer. It is a snap on boot. Driver side alternator. This is an alternating current with frequency proportional to engine RPM. The Dakota Digital module will convert this to a tach level signal of pulses per revolution which...

    M1008 cracked head gaskets, runs fine, fix? Or engine swap?

    Sounds like a good DIY project. It isn't hard, just time consuming. At the bare minimum, replace head gaskets and use ARP head stud kit. Follow the -34 TM , keeping pushrod orientation known, a paint marker is good. A good pressure wash of the heads and dye penetrant test will show...

    M1008 cracked head gaskets, runs fine, fix? Or engine swap?

    Running without a thermostat can cause unequal coolant flow in one bank which would make one head boil.

    Need Help With Engine RPM Signal For TCM

    Stock CUCV alternators have a tach signal connection. Depending on transmission control module, you may need signal conditioning. Dakota Digital has a module for this purpose.
