Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
I can't be the only one thinking this, when do we get to see the hood?
I've been dying to see it in paint. |

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thanks, guys, for hanging in there with me. It's been a lot longer slog than I imagined. I know you understand how relieved I was that the engine actually fired up on the first try. It's a big step forward for a LS newbie. Certainly not as ambitious as some of you who've transplanted donor engines and had to jump thru even more hoops to make it all work, but still a big moment.
I spent a half hour on the phone yesterday with a GMPP tech and he was very helpful, although at the end of the call I still didn't really understand the difference between the VSS +/- and speedout wires. My BIL, Rick, and I had a long conversation about pull up - pull down resistors and after the call, I stumbled across a line in the Classic Instruments manual that stated the tachometer signal needs at least an 8V reference level and to use a 1K ohm resistor if the input wire is coming from a PCM/ECU. I only had about a dozen loose resistors in my electronics box, but luck was with me and I had one that was exactly 1K. After connecting it between switched 12DC and the signal post, I have a working tach. Now it's on to the speedo. The GM tech seemed to think that having the NAV system and the cruise control piggybacked off the same wire going to the digital interface box for the speedo might be attenuating the signal. So today I'll patch a wire directly from the GMPP harness to the speedo box to delete the other two sinks temporarily. If that doesn't work, I'll be on the phone to Classic Instruments on Monday. I still have some work to do in the engine compartment, so it will be a little bit before I get the hood on. It's been leaning up against the back of the shop gathering dust since I brought it home from paint.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Cobbling together a patchwork of components from several different manufactures can be tricky and time consuming even if you have experience and for the guys that don't do this kind of stuff all the time it is a daunting challenge but you are smart and determined and you will get through it, hell you already solved one tricky problem and you just started working on it, you will have it working properly before you know it.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Had to use the pull up resistor with my classic instruments as well. Have you calibrated speedo and put it in learn mode yet?

What you are experiencing is exactly why I stay old school... I would have burnt the truck to the ground long ago... LOL

I did get a few things done today. Re-bled the brakes, topped off rear end lube and trans fluid plus I got the Kamikaze charcoal filter mounted and hooked to the newly installed vent tube. I think I'm safe from any tank pressurization issues now. As you can see from the photo below, it looks like a bomb went off in my recently completed interior.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
I used the single vss output from the ecm to the sn74 box. I will look at my setup again and see if I can help in anyway.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Far as I can tell I have a single computer speed signal going to the sn74z speedo in terminal. Switches 1-5 off on the sn74z on the back of speedo switches 5,6,7,8 open. I used the marked mile method and according to GPS it's right on the money. According to my notes I called Classic instruments and that's what they told me to do. Gm uses 16,000 ppm for speedo.

1. There's an orange wire coming out of the GMPP harness marked SPEEDOUT that's coming from the TCU. It is what I currently have connected to the SPEEDO IN terminal on the SN74Z with switch settings as you described. 2. There's a brown wire (circuit 818) that passes thru the 12 pin bulkhead connector that is supposed to be Vehicle Speed - Out. The I-sheet states it is a non-scaled output for use with auto-scaling speedometers and will not function unless a vehicle speed sensor is connected to the ECM thru the VSS wire in the harness. This is the wire the GMPP help desk tech referenced in our conversation Friday when discussing the inoperative speedo. However, as far as I can tell, there's no non-terminated wire in the harness that ties back to it. 3. Again, as best I can tell, the plug marked VEH SPD is meant to accept a sine wave that varies between 0-5V. The I-sheet states it's optional and not needed for engine operation... which is true to a point. But, apparently, without it there may be idle and stalling problems per this article. While it may ultimately be a driveability, fuel mileage issue, I don't think it's relevant to the speedo not working. So with all that, do you recall the wire color coming out of your harness that goes to the speedo in on the SN74Z? If your setup is like mine, the harness wire is too short to make the trip and had to be spliced.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
I modified a stock factory wire harness myself. The wire color was white. What year computer ecm does your kit have I can look at pin out ok gm site. I am a tech at gm dealer so I have access to schematics pin out etc.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
I would think the wire that was labeled speed out on your harness would be the one to go to sn74

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
The 4L65E came with a thumb drive that had a calibration software installation package and a USB laptop cable. I plugged the cable into my laptop this afternoon and turned the ignition switch to on and the TCU loaded the cal file into the application. When I started the engine, it displayed various pieces of info such as RPM, line pressure, coolant temp, volts, trans temp, throttle position, gear selection and speed. However, when I placed it in gear and let the tires rotate, the virtual speedometer on the screen didn't display the speed like I figured it would. So something is out of whack. Could be related to not having the optional VSS input hooked up, don't know. I'll call the GM hotline again tomorrow with my case number and see if they can better assist me now that I have more details.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
This is above my head. Probably what's kept me from doing this swap. I'm not only old but old school......good luck Vic

How fast are spinning the wheels mine wouldn't register at first until I got over 30 mph

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Probably not 30 mph. Just off idle a little bit. I'll go see what it does with more tire speed.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
No luck... still no readout. At this point, if I had to guess, I'd say there's a problem with the signal coming out of the TCU but I won't really know until I get a scope on it later this week. I have some other stuff to do to keep me occupied, but the not knowing is killing me.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thanks, Dale, I know what you mean. The younger guys take to it like a duck to water, but at my age, an HEI is high tech, baby!

Thought I'd chime in here after reading all the previous posts about your speedo function fault. Just a few quick questions to help you along the troubleshooting path. 1) Does your truck's new electronics include a Central Electronics Module (CEM)? -- or the equivalent as part of your electronics conversion installation. 2) Does your truck have an AFTER 1994 OBDII DATA LINK CONNECTOR? This will allow you to use a Diagnostics Scan Tool to troubleshoot the Data Stream information. I have a background in Industrial Electronics and Automotive Electrical Systems... so with a little bit of information, I can point you in the right direction. Cheers, Abe
