    1mm and 7CZ are both 70 pin the ecm is interchangeable on both. I’m not an expert on elogs, but your 1mm ecm is the same function in cat powered trucks built before 10/01/2002.

    Not to hijack a thread but I’m very curious about if my truck will run an elog. 96 Pete 379 e model cat has the 6 pin plug. I’m curious if it has the 6 pin does that automatically mean it’ll work?

    That would be a 40 pin ecm . Only capable of j1939 can buss.

    So unless they have Elogs out now that communicate with that your out of luck.

    Your exempt anyway.

    Swaan is there anything I can do to make it work? My company requires elog and I bought the truck under the impression any truck with a 6 pin plug would run an elog

    Use the search up on top. Plenty of threads on what individuals are using. Long as you have a tablet, smartphone, etc..... you can download from several apps that are available in the market.

    If your dead set on Elog phone malk industries. I know they make a box that converts j1939 to the newer style . They make these so people can put older E cats with 40 pin ecms into the newer gliders. The engine ecm can then talk to the multiplexed dash in the newwer trucks. I'm thinking it would work for your Elog also.

    Why would you go with that old of an engine if you weren't trying to avoid elogs. This post makes no sense.

    Actually makes perfect sence. Elogs or no Elogs those "old" engines as you put it are 100 times better then any of the new junk out today. N14, series60 or 3406E have probley made more money for people out of any engine period.

    It's his company that's making him run Elogs .
