Made a couple of videos of my SUBURBAN this afternoon. It's still a work in progress, but coming along.

Well I went and lost my mind earlier today. I had some people on another forum say my videos were boring because it was coming off the line slowly due to the 3.42's and torque management. I played with EFILIVE(by the way is UNBELIEVEABLY addictive) last night some and raised the fueling tables for the MAF sensor to bring the fuel in sooner and also added some to the throttle injection quantity and this is what I got.

There is something about about seeing a SUBURBAN doing this.
Theres 2 of us plus 2 dogs in it as well, the dogs didn't know what to make of getting thrown to the backseat.

VERY very cool!!! Ive been anxious to see pics/videos of this project.

Looks like its running well, thats awesome you were able to get the original suburban instrument cluster all integrated and working perfectly with no check engine lights or anything!

Nice job!! :cool2:

Ben


EDIT: did you ever figure out the ABS issue??

Yep, the 01 ECM outputs a seperate signal that matches that of the older VSSB module and it all works as factory. the only thgings I lost really were the low oil warning and oil overtemp. The 95 cluster already has a check guages light and audible alrm for low oil pressure and engine overtemp. The tach is driven off of the alternator, and the speedo works the same in the 95 as the 01. The only hiccups has been the TCM, but BRAYDEN is working with me to get that straightened out(shift points are pretty high for this application).

Yep that's WOT, but the tach isn't dead on(alternator driven tach). Logged they are shifting at 3150-3200 on all of them. Most all of the part throttle shifts are happening at 2000 and lock-up doesn't come in until 55 and doesn't like to stay in until 60. I know I went from 3.73's to 3.42's, but my donor would go into lock-up in 5th around 42-43 so I figured 48 or so I should get lock-up now. Also tow/haul mode shifts exactly like normal mode with no difference in the shift points at all.

T/h WOT should be the same..

t/h normale elevate shift points.. with TC engages by 25-30

my tach aint dead on either...

I don't get lock-up until 54-55 no matter which position it's in unless I'm at WOT then it locks around 38-42. Shift points are all the same as well at part throttle, only difference is I get 2 different adaptives so I use one for one DSP and one for the other right now to maintain smooth shifts.
