Man just stumbled upon your LSK5 videos. I've watched a couple so far and great work and explanations. Looking forward to watching start to current then following you through the final steps. Good luck!
Where does the VSS wire pin come from? I have the Dakota digital Sensor hooked up on my transfer case to switch to electric speedo, just not sure where the wires go
I imagine that as long as the aftermarket harness you buy is pinned to be a direct replacement to the factory harness then this should still be accurate. As always with anything electrical, check twice, check 3 times, check 1 more before putting power to it.
Hi. I have an '85 GMC C1500 2wd that Im about to LS swap. I just bought a '91 cluster off ebay. Do I need a DRAC module or do I just run the VSS wire from the 4L80E harness to the speedometer pin? Thanks in advance.
JonnyB. Good I’ve not got mine hooked up yet but it’s my understanding that the VSS wire will go straight to the speedo pin on the pcm and it has another that will send signal from the pcm up to the electric speedo. I’m thinking it was pin 49 and 50 on the blue side. Not 100% on that but for clarification, check out LS Swapped Squarebody page on FB. Great info there.
JonnyB. Good sorry I haven’t got a printout for 81-up but I imagine they are very similar. Mine is 4x4 and that may be alil different for 4x4 indicator light but generally all the main ones are the same.
DWARSCO if I remember correctly, the pin 5 goes to alternator to show voltage while running. A 12v source would actually serve the same purpose because once you start the vehicle, the voltage will increase and do the same thing.
I'm sorry but I do not have the wiring diagram for a stock 1990-91 plug. Something that may help: the wire colors for my 1980 plug should be the same as on the 1990 plug but in different locations. This will help you pinpoint some of the wires and what they are for. Like the pink with black on a 1990 plug will be the same as the 1980 plug, the pink for fuel, the light green for high beam indicator and dark green for water temp and so forth. Use the diagram to identify the wires that you can and then research the rest. Again they will be pinned differently but the same colors will be same function. Hope this helps.
So nice ... the crappy loud music in the intro and then to add insult to injury the useless disco music in the video. He3y little boy ... use your words.
I so appreciate the re pin technique you show. Thankyou.

Thanks for watching. As always if you have any questions that I didn't cover, ask them here and I'll see what I can do to get an answer.
Nice work and great description/instruction on how to do this
Pro tip: you can watch series at kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Jad Casen yup, I've been watching on Kaldrostream for since december myself :D
where does the VSS wire go to. There are a twisted pair that goes to the sensor

This wire diagram will it work on my 76 blazer
Eduardo Zatarain yes it should work on your cluster.
What about a 74 k5 will the diagram work for me too
THANKS so much help
Does this change if you are going to put in an aftermarket electrical harness?

Do you happen to have a printout like that for my '85?

Great work I did same thing on my 83 C10 now I am looking for a tech do live in Texas I am in Houston
for pin 5 (low voltage) you just hooked up to a 12v source correct?
DWARSCO if I remember correctly, the pin 5 goes to alternator to show voltage while running. A 12v source would actually serve the same purpose because once you start the vehicle, the voltage will increase and do the same thing.
1980 LS K5 thanks. Figured as much.
Were can i get that pin out diagrams?

Maybe that will pull them up
Do you have the info on the wiring for a 1990

Mystic Daves Tarot & Machine Shop you could always mute the video? 🤷🏻♂️ can’t please everyone
@@1980LSK5 Use your words!
@@1980LSK5 I only have the 90-91 speedometer can swap my gauges from my 77 over to the 91 cluster and repin using your directions ?
