Did I ask for pictures of you?
Unless you are saying that you are the tranny

So you just want a picture of a transmission mounted in place? That doesn’t prove anything.

 

[Loony661]

Ok had to reread it
Now you said you handled the tranny without no trouble
Is that something that you should brag about?
Is that the same thing as fisting???

This is a family friendly thread.

You left your book here...don't get me wrong, I'm proud of you for trying to skill up but just a bit concerned about the subjects you research.

Does anyone know where a 1997 5.9 with a 5 speed would get the Speedo signal from?

Does anyone know where a 1997 5.9 with a 5 speed would get the Speedo signal from?

It’s either on the rear diff, or the trans/tcase. My ‘99 speed sensor is on the rear diff. My ‘97 auto trans was located on the tcase..

Mine came from the ABS sensor in the rear end. 99 2500 gas version. Speeds were bouncy b4 going out then dropped entirely.

 

[Hoser]

Is the manuals the same as the auto’s 3 wire sensor plugged in on trans on 2wd or 4wd on t-case?
Autos are like that from 94-97. My 98 1500 was on the rear diff.
My 96 1500 has a 727 so I run a sky drive, gps but actually runs the electronic dash speedo if you’re looking for a work around

 

[davidwyby]

My 95 was on the tcase output. Broke it once and a guy loaned me the tail cone off his 24v, no port for it

 

[Yukon Stihl]

Nothing on the tcase on gnus one
There is one on the Ford rear end i think that is original frame
Need something to provide a signal for the Dakota Digital guage package im
Looking at

This is the coolest thread on the site. Mopar or no car. You guys have a VERY impressive knowledge of these trucks. Never had a cummins. Had a 1994 with a 318. Liked the red interior, only 94 and 95 had the red and blue interiors. Other truck we used as a shop truck was an '03 with the underrated 4.7 v8. Had 3 vehicles with that motor at one point, the 03, an 04 Dakota, and an 01 Jeep. Never a problem with any of them. The 04 is still going with over 200,000 on her. I miss that truck.

I spent the past week stripping the truck, and today I got the motor pulled. Now I'm gonna use my upcoming week off to gut the truck so I can scrap the hulk and sell off all the saveable bits I don't need. One dies so others may live, such is the circle of life.

Mines a 53 block. Over 400,000 miles and no crack.

Yep. Motor is fine, no signs of a cracked block and since a K&N style intake is my only planned performance mod I think it'll last just fine. I'm really not too terribly concerned, just noticed that when I was looking over my precious.

 

[davidwyby]

My 95 has a 53 from a 97. You can remove the freeze plugs and measure the wall thickness to see if it’s thin or not. I think it was later ones that were thin and cracked.

@Spike60 if you ain’t had a Cummins you ain’t lived

Got this truck because of a cracked 53 block.
Still ran great but the 16” crack was leaking faster than you could add water
Found a good running complete engine for $1500.00 USD.
