    A 95 is going to be running a DDEC 2 at least, most likely DDEC3.
     
    SMOKENCHOKE Thanks this.

    When i get back to my truck next week ill have to get up close and personal lol and see which one I have
    But the other op@ 40calglock said any electronic detroit can hook up, seems to a difference in opinions from the ops

    But what matters Is I called detroit and they told me it does have the ecm on that motor. We matched the vin number up and im good to go,

    I just looked it up. DDEC 3 came out in 92. You'll be fine.

    I know you can hook up a Qualcomm to mechanical engine, I once owned a 1989 freightliner fld and the company it was leased to used Qualcomm, but the eobr I don't know

    jj keller already has one. it simply plugs in to the port underneath the dash where a computer plugs in to read the ecm , has a y cable so you can still read with computer. works off Bluetooth with a smartphone or tablet. mercer uses that one

    cost less than 250 bucks.

    It doesn't work with a mechanical engine.

    If you have a plug (error codes) you have a ECM. It may be primitive, but it's a ECM.

    A pure mechanical engine doesn't have a ECM. Look for the throttle slides. No cruise control and mechanical speedometer and odometer. Think 1980's at the latest with a few holdovers into the early 90's. Big cam engines.

    The mechanical box JJ Keller is waiting for approval is designed for mechanical engines. It's hard wired to the battery and has its own GPS and sensors.

    Smokenchoke, skateboardman is right, your lack of knowledge about trucks is shocking for some one that is looking to own and operate one, if I was you I would look at being a company driver and learn the business first... I don't know if he is op/driver ? What ever that is...but he is a owner/operator, which I am also with my own authority. PS a ecm = a electronic controlled motor the eobr will hook right up to the back of diagnostic port under the dash

    The feds requiring it is one thing, but the carriers are requiring it for legal reasons. These days all the lawyers do is sit back and wait for someone to be struck by a truck and if that truck isn't equipped with an EOBR, it's PAYDAY! Because the chances are that if it doesn't have an EOBR, there will be an inconsistency, no matter how small, between the driver's activities and the log book.

    And that inconsistency will cost the carrier millions of dollars in a court of law. And if there was a fatality?!?!?! Then the carrier is royally screwed. The EOBR just might keep the driver out of prison. I am and will always be 100000000% against EOBR's because they are an invasion of privacy. But what's worse than an EOBR?!?! Greedy scum sucking lawyers and our corrupt and screwed up court system.
