This < Truspeed speedo correction installation - www.slunnie.com > is the guide that I followed for installation. Originally I fitted a Truspeed, but when that failed they were no longer available so a Hunter Di unit replaced it but in the same position.Quote:

The unit was suggested to be placed by the manufacturer next to the speedo wire on the dash, which would result in only the speed being corrected, and not the other systems within the truck. Like Mark, I did not do this, and placed the unit directly after the SLABS computer before the speed signal branched off to the other systems such as the ECU and ACE computers.
Thinking about that question and the answer is probably no. The times it has come on is hard acceleration such as overtaking and here the trans kicks down, or, the very infrequent putting the welly in when taking off.Quote:

Hi all,
As far as I’m aware, the sport mode is useful off road to maintain the selected gear, so it might not be entirely beneficial to nix it. Happy to be corrected though.

When in low range "sport" mode becomes "manual" mode, that wouldn't get changed as it works quite well I think.Quote:

I get this exact same thing with mine. Even with a rebuilt auto.Quote:

X2 for M1 & M2 - that’s how I drive in the Victorian High Country, provides more control than Hill Descent Control and gives the brakes a rest.Quote:

I don't think it does from what I can see, but it will lock on decel if decel occurs over 2000rpm, but unlocks again at 1300-1500rpm.
As I said earlier, I can't see any reason to change low range.
The easiest way of feeling the lockup is when changing gears in M Low Range. Say when going down hill in say M2 and coming up to a woops se daisy and having to slow down rather than launching into the air going over it - The initial change happens and you find the vehicle runs on (no lock up) then binds with the lockup and restores the control. So this cant be done just before, it requires the down change to anticipate the run on out till lock up.Quote:

As to changing the profile of low range, would say that it extremely well judged and unless there is a situation say, up extreme rock climbing which I have not sought out, it may be rabbit hole with no improvement at the end. Just my opinion.
