From my understanding you find t he "sweet spot " the speedthat you want it to **** in OD with a dial in your cab that come with the kit. you turn the **** and it chages the votage as THE tps does when you press the fuel pedal...so you play with it until you like where ok kicks in...


Somebody correct me if i am wrong

Your speedo is off a cable, its mechanical and as far as I know has nothing to do with shift points. I could be wrong though, I know the 727's better then the 518's.

If your speedo is erratic and also affecting your od its probably the vss I have the same problem.

I agree. It's probably the VSS. It affects the speedometer, OD,andSpeed control. I am on My fourth one on my 91.5. Of course it is pushing 400,000 mi Hard.

Sorry- I should have read all the way through before I sent a message. Vss is the electric speed sensor located on the tranny drivers side. cost is about 35 bucks.
