Datastar Odometer / Speedometer

Sep. of 05 is when the service bulletin was made. I have no idea, I was just told of this.

 

Well I did the upgrade and it works. Just doesnt show the 1M, only hundred thousands.

 

Sweet! Which chip part number did you use?

 

The "DU", at $12. Mine was the older program. It just would be neat if it showed 7 digits.

 

report back if you get a chance.

 

I finally got around to doing the upgrade. Have a problem though, while the odometer works again (and even knew somehow that I'd driven 5000 miles with it stuck at 999999) none of the trip odometers work. I miss them because I like to use them to monitor my fuel consumption per load. I can usually haul 4-6 loads before I have to fill. I do my own billing, and calculate exact fuel cost per load, so that I know my AF(after fuel revenue) per load. I can still do a rough calculation on this but it's not as accurate. When I first checked my data star version #, I was sure I had the first one listed on the bulletin, SD1-A V5.0 12/08/02. So I ordered the EU and, just before installing I did a final check, and realized that I had a 25 in place of either the 12 or 08 (can't remember which now). I went ahead and switched it out anyhow, with the results described above. Then, a week or so ago I received the other version from WS, and put that it. Still the same thing. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Cetane, do your trip odo's work? Funny thing, before I did any changes, when the odo was stuck on 999999, I still had 2 of the 6 trip odometers that worked. I'm almost wishing I had left the #### thing as it was, lol.
