And main question WHY?
There is a huge difference between a CPS (Crank/camshaft Position Sensor) and a shaft speed sensor.

A shaft speed sensor reading the rotational velocity of the gears would be no more complicated than the speedometer sensor reading the rotational velocity of the differential carrier. It's a simple matter of pulse counts, and the best part is...since the gear teeth will create the pulses, no changes are needed to the gears themselves.

A position sensor has to have a good reading on how many degrees the reference has traveled so it knows where everything is, and what needs to be done. Much more complicated than simply measuring speed.

anomic its really very simple READ THE OWNERS MANUAL all 200 miles old new vehicles come with them. its called hill holding or hill assist its supposed to do that so you don't have to try to heel an toe. da book usually has operating ranges which should tell you how low you can rev it. yes i have bought a new truck with the book, and yes i did read it from front to back SAME DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME. chee whiz you spent 40+k on it and don't even check out the book

My truck was under 25k im not sure how yall seem to need 15k in options


The manual has operating ranges that are for fuel econ only the shift points are way way sooner than they should be.

So there is a delay on the brake why? If i want thr brake on i will push it!
