Jags that run has the diff mounted tone ring, which seems like the best deal price wise. Next, Dakota Digital has a little bullet shaped unit which bolts right onto the cable drive from the transmission, but pricy for what it is and I couldn't run my mechanical speedo which I was planning to do until I go the truck re-geared.
Any other tricks you guys have? |
You've got a pretty good handle on it. With your requirement to keep 40 pulses per driveshaft revolution and a mechanical speedo, the JTR tone ring is about the only game in town. Anything else that I can think of will cost you more and be more of a headache in the long run.
