I'm having a (DMI) distance measuring devise installed in my truck for work use. I can't figure out where the output sensor is located or what color wires to look for.
The truck is a 4X4 with a 4.7 engine. My instructions say the DMI has a single wire lead that needs to be soldered to the pulse wire of the output sensor. I'm taking my truck in today to the garage but dought it will get installed because no one I've talked to there knows where the sensor is or ever installed a devise like this before.

Could someone help please ?
Thank you.

I'll move you to the 3rd Generation Dakota forum.

 

Are you looking for the output speed sensor? If so its on the driver's side rear of the transmission. I'm not sure on the wire colors and such. I'll keep searching to see if I can find it.

 

The output speed sensor wires will be yellow & pink (+), and dark green and violet (-).
But for some reason, the input speed sensor colors wires are the same as well.

 

No yellow with a pink trace appears at the output sensor. Somehow the only two wires at the output sensor is dark green + brown. My truck is still at the garage for over night. So we have a call into the DMI maker to pick a wire. They have a disclaimer stating if you hook this devise to the wrong sensor wire and damage the DMI it's your fault and sorry about your luck and no return. Your out $700 + bucks. Such a great distance measuring devise and they can't tell you the most critical wire connection to make.

My job is on the line. I have 12 fiber optic placement jobs going to cell towers for the heat up of the 4G+ cellular service's that's 3 to 8 miles long each and I can't use a hand rolling wheel to measure the footage needed along the route. I'm a constructional engineer for the phone company. Argggg! Anyone have any idea's.

 

how exact a distance do you need. most any gps system out there will measure this.
