Next project - fuel mizer Suburban
Alright fellas, we finally have the '99 6.5L Suburban (see signature) running and driving. But the indicated speed (speedometer) is about 1/2 of what it should be.
We have the ecm and tranny out of a '96 3/4 ton 6.5L pickup. The transfer case came from a '98 3/4 ton 4L80E (not sure if Diesel or Gas?). Installed a new Gear Vendor.
We calibrated our VSSB according to tire size and gearing, Gear Vendors did same. If I swap between the two, I get an appropriate change in indicated speed for the .78 GV OD ratio. So, we came up with similar calibrations, in seperate states.
I'm just confused with reading 1/2 the actual vehicle speed? My "divide ratio" for 662 revs/mile (245-75-16), 3.73 axle ratio and I assume a 40 tooth sensor... gives 24.693. If I understand this correctly, I'd have to double the divide ratio to get the correct speed. I don't see anything larger than a 36.594 divide ratio, thus I can't fix my problem with the VSSB.
Oh yeah, I tried a new VSS just to be sure that wasn't messed up.
What might I be missing?
