Dakota Digital
I partially completed 4406 swap on my 97 exp 5.0. Fought the dakota digital interface for two days. It works to 53 ish mph. At 53 speedo returns to zero. Before this I had to unplug cruise module so it would go above 20 mph. Signal output is tapped into at gem module. Anyone have this issue?- berniemac73
