Atlas VSS Option - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

sylgeist · 07-24-2010, 09:39 AM

I'm putting a 5.3/4L60E in my Jeep. I have the 40 tooth sensor for the PCM in between the tranny and t-case. I'd like to put a speedo only sensor in the Atlas tailshaft so I get proper odometer/speed readings.

I know i can swap the tailshaft, but that seems like a lot of money for no reason. I can't run the Jeep 3-wire sensor that AA sells with my gauges. Is there a standard VSS that is compatible out there?

What gauges are you running? Stock?

I'm using a custom Dakota Digital panel. I need a standard 2-wire AC signal for it.

In case anyone runs across this thread I found a solution. It's not the most elegant but it gets the job done. I bought the mechanical cable drive speedo gear housing from AA for the Atlas. Then I bought a sensor from Dakota that bolts onto that housing and there's my basic 2-wire speed sensor hookup.

Thank you for updating your thread. It does help in the future.
