    Running a 4l80e without EFI

    The ESS output from the diesels is a sawtooth waveform from what I've read, that isn't directly compatible with a gas tach/tcm, which requires a square wave. A signal converter can be purchased for around 100 bucks, but having to pay for this is another reason I'm heavily leaning towards using...

    Running a 4l80e without EFI

    Well it's not going to be a tow vehicle or anything like that. Turbo is mostly there for a little more guts and that's it. I'm fairly sure my dads old 93 K1500 6.2 had the 4l60 behind it, and the motor gave out before the trans. But yeah I would prefer a little more peace of mind in having...

    Running a 4l80e without EFI

    Hey all, I'm looking at doing an engine swap in a late 90's GMT400 and I'm considering a couple of options for what exactly I'll be using as the body. I have a J code 6.2L diesel with a banks kit that would be going into it. Now, I've read some articles about how the 4l60 can be wired to work...
