Thread: Swapped from MT82 to Magnum XL and lost cruise control

  1. #1

    Swapped from MT82 to Magnum XL and lost cruise control

    THIS IS NOW FIXED IN THE LATEST HPT BETA. Under TRANS / MANUAL there is a gear ratio section.

    I swapped to a Magnum XL with 2.97 first gear. My speedo works and is accurate. I adjusted the VSS to 12, the gear ratio to 3.31 and the gears to the correct ratio in the trans portion of HPT. I only have cruise in 4th gear? Any help?

    Thank you

    What strategy or box code ? you should have access to gear ratio , min and max . Once you update with actual ratio you re done and cruise should work.

    Are you using an Abbott box for the speedo calibration? Have you run the VSS sensor back to the ECU harness and you still have issues?

    I'm not using an Abbott box. I've read they're hit or miss. My speedo is accurate. I connected the 2 wire sensor off the trans to the 3 wire harness on the car. I didn't connect the violet wire.
    I have the gear ratio correct in hpt.
    4th gear cruise works only. If I change the vss from 12 none of the gears work. So I don't know if there is a specific number it needs to be?

    Have you done this yourself? I'd love some more info. I changed the gear ratios in the trans section as well as the rear gear (but thats seperate and was done a while ago).

    I ve done with BLV2 , BLV2 , NPY2 . All with the abbot box and gear ratios change for the actual ratio and min/max.

    I never try to not use the speedo box so I cant say why yours is not working.

    speed is given from body control module aka wheel speed sensors (abs sensors), cruise control has to have the output shaft speed sensor working correctly, and trans ratios calibrated correctly

    What is your strategy? What is the year of the car? I went straight from the VSS output to the ECU. As stated in the last post, you must have the gear ratios correct in the tranny and the correct min and max as well. Cruise works in 4th because of the 1:1 ratio. Get the other gear ratios correct.

    Is the is right? Maybe I have it connected wrong but then why would cruise work in 4th? This is how I hooked up the speed sensor. I left the wire with the X in through image unconnected. I have VSS set at 12. I have the gear ratios correct for the close ratio Magnum 2.95 from Tremec's website.
    Idk.

    With the Abbot box and corrected gear value , Cruise is working for most of guys . But your method correct the speedo but not the cruise control apparently .

    If you tried everything , your are a couple of dollars to have a cruise control
