    It would depend on what they are using to read the ecm. Maybe @rank knows what all they can see.
    I run a 40 pin cat it’s like yours one sensor for speedo one for ecm.

    Yes Sir, technically has came leaps and bounds. When you live off the beaten path, doing a insight repair was the fastest way to get back running. My great uncle was born in 1918 and grew up through the depression. His mindset was a lot different than most. Although he taught me his ways, I look at things different than he would today. I don’t have time to scrounge parts and then build it, especially when buying new saves so much time and time is money :).
    Welcome to the throw away world?

    Driving a 1950’s truck would not be practical on roads today that welcome 70 + mph speeds. Otherwise it wouldn’t bother me personally. But that’s me.... I don’t need or desire a lot of today’s comforts. Everyone is different. :)

    Automated transmissions and cruise control have helped insurance companies a whole lot.

    Freind and I where ordering some lunch at the counter. Freind ask the cashier..., Do you all use mechanically separated chicken parts?? You could hear the afterburners! :D

    I miss seeing aunt Winnie cut up chickens. Sure miss the way she fried it in that cast iron too.

    I only really know what happens with my 1998 T800/M11 Celect+. Yes The DOT at the QC scale checked the limiter setting by connecting to the data port.

    Yes I use a laptop and Cummins Powerspec to input the speed limiter setting, the tire size and IIRC the rear gear also. I don’t know what happens if I inputted tire sizes etc incorrectly....I never tried. If you need any more info you’ll have to PM me.

    Yes Sir.... I have slid my legs under them
