now this setup going to be ajustable for dirrerent tire sizes or is it a set thing once you dial it in the first time? I guess im asking if you decided to run bigger tires or smaller tires after the initial setup can you change to compensate for the difference in size? |

the dakota digital unit will allow us to adjust it at anytime, even while driving down the road |

Can adjust anytime,while driving or at a stand still.The Dakota Digital reclaibration box allows the adjustment for gears and tire changes without changing anything else or a trip to the dealership.

Okay for those who want to know I did a preliminary test on this setup tonight...................................... AND IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now not having a rear diff or even driveshafts it's hard to say if it is a 100% but with the trans in gear and the t-case in gear my speedo was working(went up and down with rpm changes) and I didn't fry anything(yet). |

Why do you think your sensor is crapping out on you? |

yeah, my speedo is doing the same thing, only problem with mine is i can't find out why it isn't working. sensors are all pluged in, and from what i can tell the wires aren't shorting anywhere. i'm affraid it is the computer going bad |

OK gang, update on this... Ensure when you tap into the wires going from the pulse generator to the dakota digital unit, you must tap the yellow and striped wire (Troy's was orange, mine is blue stripe). The stripe wire is the input to the computer. Mine did not work at first because I tapped into the solid yellow wire. Switched to the one with the stripe and the speedo came alive. I still have to figure the calibration out. |

set up is easy once you do the correct wire   Calibration on the other hand is a pain! But now my jeep is finally
