4x4 LS Swap w/ Dakota Digital SEN-01-4160 *SOLVED*
*Solved*
Here's the story: I have a 1984 K10. I swapped in a 2001 5.3/60e and kept the original '84 NP208 transfer case. I needed a simple way to generate VSS pulses for the PCM and also retain the original cable drive for the mechanical speedo. I chose the Dakota Digital SEN-01-4160 Pass-Through Speed Pulse Adaptor. Problem is, the DD pulse generator produces 8 pulses per speedo cable revolution (or 8000 pulses per mile). The PCM wants 40 pulses per output shaft revolution. Here's the math to solve the discrepancy.
First, apply the 31? tire size (30.5 actual) and 2.73 axle ratio correction to all the shift tables using the "Gear/Tire Wizard." Leave the 40 pulse per trans rotation setting alone for now.
Trans revolutions per mile:
Tire size (30.5" diameter, OR 684 revolutions per mile) multiplied by the axle ratio (2.73), will result in 1867.32 drive shaft revolutions per mile. *Calculated by Gear/Tire Wizard*
VSS P/Rev - Trans:
8 pulses per rev (Dakota Digital output) DIVIDED by 1.9444 (35 driven / 18 drive) from the speedo gear output. Equals 4.11438 Pulses per trans revolution *Manually calculated*
VSS Pulses per mile:
1867.32 (drive shaft revolutions per mile) DIVIDED by 1.9444 (sensor revolutions per driveshaft revolution). Equals 960.358 sensor revolutions per mile. 960.358 (sensor revolutions per mile) times 8 (Dakota Digital pulses per revolution output) equals 7682.864 Pulses per mile. *Manually calculated*
That's it. No welding reluctor rings to output shafts. No drilling speed sensors into adapter housings. Just a $50 pulse generator and 15 minutes to instal it. The numbers are specific to my application, but it's easy enough to plug in different values for another set up. Big thank you to Brendan at LT1Swap.com for walking me through this.
