i wasnt using the abs as an excuse, when i asked pro comp why my controller that i bought stopped at 35". They said "it sets off the abs light to go above a 35"
this is similar but, mechanical, and that is the difference.
my issue with inline foolers is it may not be only the ecm using that signal. And changing that signal can effect the function of other things. I work with electronics daily, and i know that often times more than one feature uses a signal for calculation.
When you put larger tires on you the same pulses per revolution as before but you will travel more distance (therefore 30mph as indicated is actually more)
they are the only resource for our trucks, but other than fixing the speedo, they dont change anything else. shift points, and the likes are all not effected by speed inputs. that is why i chose to leave mine alone.
And as stated before, i dont like them because i have never been a fan of changing something outputed signal. I would much prefer to change the way the signal is used at the end point

Everybody is entitled to their opinion...
I did choose to change mine and it has been working flawlessly, my odometer is now correct for maintenance and my speedometer is correct (helps me with the long arm of the law with speeding)
also people with over head MPG displays I beleive they use the speed signal, without a corrected signal those devices will have error.
I am having trouble over the term "fooler" why not call it a correction device?
I mean that is what it does, it corrects the pulses per revolution at the source rather then the end point. I too work with electronics daily, and use signal conditioning constantly. Garbage in = garbage out, so I would rather take in a corrected signal then to take in a wrong signal and try to make it right.
just my thought - thanks for the discussion!
have a great weekend
