Even still, you could still splice into the signal wire from the ECM to the combo meter..

As suggested by a member of another forum, I added in a fuse. 2.5A
Also, while I was in there, per the instructions I wrapped the yellow box in some very high tech stuff in order to keep the dust out of yellow box.

Not if it's only intercepting the signal to the cluster - - if the signal goes into the cluster and then branches off to other modules, then you might have problems. But really, even putting bigger tires on an ABS vehicle will have an effect . . .Originally Posted by YotaFun

I realized that, but I figured in the wonderful world of electronics if the resistance wasn't right or something that it would set off an ABS code.

Can we not just take it to a speedo shop to have them calibrate it if you dont have the VSS or if you are afraid it will mess with your ABS?

Well, the trucks have a gear inside the tail housing of the transmission and you can swap out the gears but you probably won't get it perfect. I could have swapped gears but my difference was too large for the gears to make a good difference.Originally Posted by 04 Rocko Taco
If you have an electric VSS, how would you calibrate it without the box ? This yellow box does math every single milisecond to change the signal going to the ECM.
I still don't think the other "abs" concerns in this thread are valid, but I didn't feel like arguing.

im searching to figure it out. so far it looks like a square wave that its made by the vss sensor or the abs computer. this is the signal path i read about
1. wheel sensor to the
2. abs computer to the
3. gauges to the
4. ecu/ecm
so cheap basterd that im am...trying to figure out if i can use any old speedo calibrator and splice it into behind the dash.
it got me thinking because almost all these company's sell the same unit for lots of verticals and the difference is the cable harness. and if ever unit is basically the same then there are alot of used motorcycle units available for cheap since those guys seem all about them.
so if you splice up stream from the gauges...your abs gets raw wheel spin data and everything else gets actual speed data. i would think thats the best scenario for all the systems involved but i could be wrong on alot of this stuff.
Well I mean, if altering the signal from the VSS to correct it to where it should be, how does that hurt the ABS ? I guess I'm just not sure where your guys' fears are coming from.
