    Get 35s. Driving at 110, your speedo will show only 100, problem solved.

    Jokes aside, according to the FSM, the speed signal is a single 12V wire going from the skid control ECU to instrument cluster. With each wheel rotation, the skid control ECU pulls the voltage to 0V four times, forming a square wave. Both the digital display and the analog gauge get their signal from the same source:

    If the digital display is stable but the analog gauge needle is shaky, that is likely a problem with the gauge internals. Bad stepper motor, insufficient hold current, etc.

    To verify this 100%, you'd have to hook up an oscilloscope to the SP1 signal line and look at the waveform while driving at 110 kph.

    Appreciate it!!! I may have a missing tooth or something on the stepper motor. Oh well, I will ignore till truck burns down.

    ^Yes missing tooth or deadspot. Ask your former employer if they have an electronics shop (like United Radio) that can repair instrument clusters. Of course that's if you can accommodate the downtime.

    Or wait a year and potentially upgrade your problem away.

    Bet you could start a bidding war in the original thread. I love my 2LO module, and there are lots of ppl been pleading with the OP to build more.

    Edit... was thinking of the 2nd gen OP Up2NoGood. Didnt realize the 3rd gen units were built by somebody else.

    éminence grise ?

    So to translate that to freedom language, ya gota translate the base words and give it context... so therefore


    step 1 - break down each word
    grise, well that sounds like grease...
    éminence, well that is a big important something..

    step 2 - you have to put it all together with the assumption of context...
    since we have to assume the speaker was talking about a male person in this thread we shall add the noun "guy" to give it proper context...
    so therefore...
    we get

    Big Important Greasy Guy

    Pretty good huh!

    So does this mean we should be calling you Mr. BiG ? For short?
