dakota digital speedo correction

Does anyone have any experience with these? http://www.dakotadigital.com/Detail....rtNumber=SGI-5

I was wondering about where you mounted it, was wiring it up a hassle? etc. I would just change the speedo gears and sensor again, it possible, but I have been told that they dont make one for the 4.09 gear and a 700r4 transmission. 3.73 is as high as they go. Thanks for your input

It says it is not for use with anti-lock brake systems...

...Is there a C4 *without* ABS???...

(I think the title of this post will confuse most C4 owners...Unless they own a Dadge Dakota)... :crazy:

Re: dakota digital speedo correction (Rich B.)

Rich, thanks for your input, however I didnt pick the name of the company. :D . The anti lock brakes on a vette are controlled off of the 4 individual wheel sensors and not the speedometer reading. So therefore I dont believe it is a issue. I know zip and some others sell a similar product. I really would rather have the gears but im being told they dont make them for a 4.09 ratio.

ABS became standard equipment on the 1986 C4 and I knew exactly what the title of the post meant.

You're putting 4.09's in an automatic, that should be interesting on the highway.

Actually I have had it in for about a month or so. So far I like it. Sure does make for quick take offs. :D I dont do that much highway driving with it anyhow. I have had it at the track twice. Once at a 1/4 mile track, and needed drag radials. But according to the factory tach, I was going through the traps at about 5900 rpms in drive. This week I took it to a local 1/8 mile track, and I didnt know traction could be so bad without snow out there. :jester I do have a set of nittos mounted on rims that I am going to try, but I need to get a line lock on there first. By the way, there are several automatic 4.09's out there. Mackey has one, and there are some others on here as well. :cheers:

Go to the Rippie site http://www.dougrippie.com/ and check "Driveline Components".

It says there if they can't do it through the computer, they use a device from Cyberdyne (yeah...and T3 just came out, too). Costs $100 from DRM.

Might want to call them and find out if it works.

[EDIT] Just got off the Exotic Muscle site and saw they have speedo gears for you...a whopping $40 for the set. http://www.exoticmuscle.com/webpage....SEL=DRIVETRAIN
