ok guys. i got a 6.0 but this sunday we are bringin my buddies truck to the dyno and the guy that has the dyno does do much in the way of diesels and said he doesnt kno wherre to hook the tach wire on the 94 12v to be able to show the torque reading a hp/tq curve. i guess if you dont hook it up, it will only be able to show hp?? how do i go about doing this

 

need a photo eye and the refector that sticks on the crank to determine rpm. same way they do it to my idi.

 

Yup gotta have the special pickup to read the marks on the damper on the crank. He should know right away what your talking abt since it's an option u can buy with the dyno. If he doesn't have one kinda useless to dyno the truck since u won't get all the readings.

 

just asking this but wy cant it be hooked up normal like a gas motor and just put the wire pickup sensor around the tach signal wire? that comes from the crank sensor

 

I'm a Newb to diesels so I could be wrong, But...

I think it wont work because gassers pickup the spark impulse whick tells the rpm, there is no spark on a diesel, so it must reference off of the crank.
