DRAC module required - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Guys,
To complete my '8625 and 4l60e swap, I need a DRAC module..
They are not available in this country... Does anyone have one collecting dust?? I can pay via paypal in US dollars.
Thanks..

In these situations, I use a digital pulse convertor from Dakota Digital, it is fully programable. I've used three of them in conversions. You are never limited to one tire size or gear ratio. Its an SGI-5. http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod/prd126.htm I'm not advertising these or endorsing them, I have simply used them with succcess, if anyone else is making these, I am not aware.

Thanks for that alternative. If I get stuck, I'll look into it.
Here is some info and a nifty calculator to alter the DRAC's ratio's in case you weren't aware...

I have that Dakota one here for sale.

From the info their tech support told me on the phone it does not output the needed pulses for E trannies. Well tech told me it might but will be very noisy.

So I went with GM drac module.

If someone has gotten that Dakota to work with E trannies I would be interested to know how.

I had a "noise" issue with the 1st one I used, solved with a 1A diode on the ground side. Now I use a diode on the ground side all the time.

What switch setting did you use and what output terminal?

Be interested as it would save me some work.

Did you run the diode from signal to ground?

Switch settings and output terminals are all based on input sig type and desired output, then calibrated to get exact. I run diode on ground (batt neg) input to device.
