Vss pulses question
Hey yall. I have a 1996 f150 300 inline e40d. Swapped body with a 1950 f1. Making a rat rod project. Recently got a cluster out of a 2006. Before I chop up my harness trying to make this work. I need to find out if gague has same VSS pulses. Any know know how I can look this up

True story it might not just work
However it is worth a try
The signals are the same I believe
The VSS was a voltage generator and I believe the newer ones on the trans output shafts work the same way
I have not looked at a speed sensor PID on a 06 lately to know what is outputted (ac milli voltage or just a hall effect square wave signal)
Worst case it will burn up the speedo in the 06 cluster

Nope. The VSS generates a square wave. The PCM reads the up/down change in voltage, it does not read the actual voltage in the circuit.

Reminder that the OP's "rat rod" project is a 1996 truck with an E4OD. He's wanting to incorporate a cluster from two generations post manufacture of the original truck. I doubt that the transmission's output sensors would be pertinent given the shift in the technology involved (cluster has no way of utilizing the the transmission sensors' signals directly).
I'm just seeing no way to do it without a LOT of re-engineering that would require an intimate and extensive amount of knowledge of how the newer cluster operates and might be adapted.
