Should be this wire from the bulkhead.

You must be registered for see images attach

Friggin eureka. I actually had taken the test light to the connector on that wire but it must’ve been too corroded to get a light off it. Cut that baby off and boom. Thanks man!

After dozens and dozens of burnouts my posi trac needs to be rebuilt. I think I’ll change the gearing to a 4.10while I’m at it. I’ve got speedhut gauges that have a gps speedo and it can do 0-60 times and 1/4 mile runs. Best I’ve done on 0-60 is just under 7 sec. Alittle disappointing, I thought the 6.0 and cam would be more powerful.... So I’ll install the redneck supercharger (gears) and see what happens

The one's I have, have enough of a buffer to work everywhere I go. The only issue I've ever had is the little bit of lag from standstill to moving.

Sorry, been a while since I've been on the forum. No, Ive not seen the speedo not work because of obstruction or anything else. And I haven't pulled off my (your) "bumper thingys" yet. Still snow and ice up here in Michigan. sucks. I've found since I wrote my last post that my tranny is starting in 2nd gear for some reason, and that's why its not as quick as I thought it would be. I guess I'll take it to a tranny shop soon.

2nd is limp mode, is it shifting after that?

So the tranny issue was fixed when I unplugged the harness to the trans and plugged it back in
Works perfectly. Ran a 13.2 at the track (remember when I wrote that I would never go to the track?) Now I took the hvac system out of the truck to fix the vacuum lines that switch the vent doors and the like. Also put in a limited slip rear end in 3.73 . she runs like a raped ape ...I went to the Martin us 131 raceway here In Michigan and it's like your first heroin experience. I can quit whenever I want, right?
