No, the capacitor checks out. It's the one that came with the Q4, and is non-polar (see my previous post). It has a definite affect on the "signal", but I don't think that it's the intended affect. At this point, I feel that the VSSB is probably "fried", and it's time for someone with a lot...

The last hoorah, this afternoon, with no luck. Here's what I have tried. Have tried the US Shift speedo drive wire (tan) on each of the two wires from the speed sensor, pre vehicle speed sensor buffer, with and without the capacitor in-line. No speedometer movement. The wires were dead-ended...

Nice post! Big bonus in pop-ups on the right. Gotta get some of those songs copied over and ready for karaoki in Texas this Winter. DW

Thank you, sir. I've been trying for an hour to copy and paste the section from the manal/disc, but it won't let me do that. Tried to move it to Word and can't get anywhere. So, I'll just type in what looks pertinent and hope I don't use up too much space for you. Speedometer Output We have...

Fermanator: I've just made a run with my input from the VSS (now solid black and solid purple, instead of purple with white and light-green with white stripe), hooked directly (piggy-backed) to the VSSBuffer input. I've probed the output to the cluster (green), trying both a/c and d/c. I get a...

Got a question for you, personally. Would you mind if I used this quote from you? Quote:“Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars”…or buy fuel! I really like that one! I'll probably be talking to you, here, and comparing notes on...

Thanks, Nessmuk. Gotta confess I haven't been out there and chased any leads for a couple of days. Been fighting a lite case of pneumonia for about 3 weeks, now, and I'm so on-and-off, energy and enthusiasm-wise that I just plain stay contented to use the Burb for running around without a...

Quote: 2 wire magnetic pickup sensors put out a small a/c voltage charge when they trigger, as speed increases, so will the voltage. If you have an old style volt meter(analog, not digital), you could see the trigger signal from the vssb to the cluster. I'll hook the GM wires tomorrow, again...

Thanks for responding, guys. Please bear in mind that I'm all gears, chains, rods, steel, aluminum, brass, etc., as far as my brain goes. So, square waves and such are a lost cause for this 78 year old fart's brain. Here are a couple of details on my Suburban, in hopes it might shed some light...

Ahah! Can't say I'm too surprised to see a DP'er over here. Having a bit of trouble learning to navigate the "new" site, but it'll come along. Just took about an hour of going through a lot of the DYI, projects and other experience that's been recorded here. Lots of info! Glad I finally found...

Put this in general discussion (first thread) and have been advised to put it in the 6.5 Forum, so, here goes a try at pasting it over here. Got interested in TTS, when I ran onto a discussion on speedometer problems with a 94 6.5 from sometime in 2009, and decided to see if the site is still...

Hi, and thanks for listening. Not sure of how to navigate on this new-to-me site. Thought that I had done an intro, last night, when I signed on, but I'll try again, here, on this forum. Retired from Big Blue since 1-1-92. Retirement job as gunsmith for 12 years, consider that my only "real"...
