Torque managment wire?

yeah well my truk ran a 16.0 at 82 mph and only made 275/675 on the dyno so iive got other issues nobody can solve
 
well darn it, I'm about to find out myself, just pulled it in the shop

Im thinking the same thing, Im going to try to put a 5V resistor in line and see what happens

Let me know what you found out. I got stupid and bored and messed with a set screw on the throttle linkage so mine is running like crap at the moment.

Thats not a good Idea.... I tried that a long time ago and had to buy a new TPS since I couldn't find the exact spot it was before and it kept throwing out of calibration.

We got the TQ manangement wire cut and got the resistance matched to what my wires are with the BD RAD on but still didn't disable the TQ management. Talking with Brandon*joefarmer*, he thinks there is a chip in the box that communicates to the ECM and without it it will think the truck is in 1st gear. We never cut into the speed eliminator wire yet tho.

We've got a few other Ideas and will let you know if we figure it out.

Just to let everyone know what we learned this weekend. The RAD has a programmable chip in it that communicates with the ecm. It is not duplicatable without actually copying BD's program which is illegal.

We wired everything in place with the exact same voltage input and output in the TQ management wire(white with black tracer) and also the same amount of resistance in the Speed sensor wire(White with orange tracer). We drove my truck with the BD RAD on and measured all the differences of voltage, resistance, and ohms between driving with it of and with it on.

Hope this clears up any questions about TQ management.

So basically you broke the law and got it to work? :hehe:

Care to share voltages, and resistance numbers?

We actually didn't get it to work without a RAD. We had all the quality's exactly the same and it DOES NOT WORK without the programmable chip.

On the speed sensor wire (white with orange tracer on white clip) the voltage is 3.09V with the RAD on and the resistance through the BD RAD at 0mph was 150ohms and was close to 2000ohms at 55mph(the value changed faster then what the meter would comprehend)

We could actually figure it out legally, but the design would have to be 30% different then BD's. We could build one for about $50 actual cost but it would take a lot of time to write a code for the ECM and by the time you figure in the cost of everything to make a profit, it wouldn't be much less then what BD want for there's ($225).

Lavon, Thanks for the update. BD dropped there price to $100 a while back so I'll end up buying one. I guess I got the TPS back to where it was because the truck is running great again and no CEL.
 
100 bucks for a rad box..im in...ill rty that out.
can i use it with the smarty and the drag comp
 
Just use the BD RAD and the Drag Comp, with all three you will loose HP. Our best times at the track and best numbers on the dyno were without the smarty.

Lavon
 
The smarty on the second gen does not do as much TM as the bd rad, we ran a truck back to back one with the rad and one with the smarty the smarty only was way slower. Also as for the person on the other forum i would question what he says because there is no TM on 1998-2000 trucks, and the smarty may do SOME TM it doesn't do as much as the RAD.
