BT Diesel TapShifter Demo

[SSchmi5519]

I was bored when sitting in the truck cleaning crap so I decided to take a short video showing the BT DieselWorks TapShifter in my LLY.

Excuse the perceived insanity...I am a perfectly stable person. :roflmao:

Next time I drive it I will post a road test video in this thread. :thumb:

I'm trying to get a gopro on the back glass so you can see everything that is going on.

How difficult would it be to install a tap shifter in my lb7?

 

[SSchmi5519]

I wouldn't say it is very difficult, the instructions are comprehensive and I didn't have any issues with mine just following the instructions.

I have a combo TapShift/Lock-up box so there was a little more to do than with just the TapShifter and it was very easy in my opinion.

Very nice! I do think Bens products are cool. One of these days ill get one!

I'm assuming the 01-02 TCM has to be reflashed though?

I have bens lock up box and it works flawless. Anytime I had questions about it Ben always took care of me and answered them.

I'm really thinking about getting one of those tap shifters. Would make driving this s472 a dream.

You don't know what you have been missing. Serious.

 

[SSchmi5519]

For the trucks without OEM OD lockout there is one extra wire to run IIRC.

I have ran a fleece tap shifter since 2010. Makes towing so much better to lock it down a gear before laying into it going up a hill

 

[superswamper003]

So what does a lockup box do?

 

[Combine Pilot]

Looks like it works good. Maybe someday soon Ben will get my new DSP5 switch for me and I could try something of his.

How long is the install? Is it just splicing or does it to into pins on the controller? I would really like one to my old lb7 my lbz was the first truck I owned that had it and the lml still has it and man is it nice going down the mountains... Just need an exhaust brake for it now would have to go vvt or a banks/PAC brake flapper

Forces converter lockup for trucks that are over the slip limit, usually 550-600hp+

IIRC it was tapping into 2 wires, and splicing into 4 others. Not difficult at all. I took my time and did it in a few hours.
