    I recently lost the transmission in my 95 Kenworth. Swapped my super 10 to a 13 speed Eaton. Now my speedometer and cruise doesn't work? They tested the wires from the ecm to the speedometer sensor and other sensor and it has power but couldn't test the other side because they needed the wiring diagram.
    I have a 60 series detroit.
    The speedometer does come up between 2 to 5 mph at 55 to 60 mph. So either I have a short/ bad wire or the dip switch settings need changed because of the different transmission? Or maybe the parameters in the ECM need changed? I haven't a clue and it's sitting at Clarke Diesel in Indy now and they have been waiting for 3 day's to hear from Detroit. If anyone has dealt with this issue please help!

    Did you change the pulse ring behind yoke as well ? If not it may have different spaces between the pulse nubs than what your other trans had or may not even have one on it.

    Did you adjust the sensor at the correct gap ? I screw mine in till it touches then back it off half turn.

    Did you re-use the speed sensors off your original super 10 or just plugged in to what was on the 13?

    I saw something like that once. The tone ring could be turned with a screwdriver through the sensor hole. Problem solved by tightening yoke nut.
