Ran into a problem with converting my 91' F150 from E4OD to M5OD; I get the tranny, T-case, and crossmember mounted up, and there's a conflict with the VSS/Speedo cable and the corner of the front fuel tank. I cannot lower the drivetrain enough to miss it, and to move/remove the tank I'd have to pull the bed.

What are the implications of deleting the VSS? I would anticipate decel idle issues and such, but am unaware of how might affect drivability or of there's a way to compensate with the tune.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Turn the VSS hardware present switch off in the tune.

Will do, thanks for quick reply.

For my understanding, does this simply eliminate the function(s) that are affected by VSS input (decell, decell in/out of gear)?

Also triggers another question for the tuning community; E4OD has the shift position module which functions as a neutral safety switch, which I planned on putting in the park or neutral position and just tying up under the cab.

Does having constant neutral safety closed affect driving conditions?

I think the answer would close the loop on the manual conversion as far as electronics and the tune is concerned.

Search the strategy doc for VSS, all the implications are covered.

Search TRLOAD in the doc. Set it in your tune to suit your transmission configuration.
