I got a new radio in my truck and it hooks into the VSS. The radio has a speedo that runs off the vss....problem is the speedo that is on the radio reads differently than my real speedo....they're about 4-5 mph off......which do you think off....my cluster speedo, or the radio speedo that reads the pulses from the VSS.

- How can I wire this up?
  
  By PBNB · Posted 10 minutes ago
  
  Have a look at the Diode Dynamic C1R light. It installs in minutes with their wiring harness and is super bright when backing up. I leave mine in all the time for an extra brake light and pop it out when towing as it sits in my hitch receiver. https://www.diodedynamics.com/hitchmount-led-pod-reverse-kit.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqycZjgNgKE-vDJIzGAP-DXvFCp8LygfNFp0m6YVgkxeIkJt1jC

  Guys, thank you so much for the help! Dealer called back and is willing to participate $7,000 towards lifter and cam shaft replacement. Basically complete engine rebuild. Our cost will be 5k. These replacement parts will be covered by a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty.

  Doesnt take an engineer to read a dipstick. Otherwise the manufacturer would require dealership oil level checks. Not brain surgery either.

  Don’t get hung up over this. No disrespect intended. People have a different opinion of what constitutes using oil. I stated mine.

  To be clear I'm not arguing whether your vehicles do or do not use oil. I am interested in continuing a technical discussion about what amount, if any, we can measure as being 'used' or 'lost'. As I stated, I measure the oil volume that I have drained from the oil pan and compare that directly to how much I put back in. There is always more going in than what came out. Generally, at a minimum, 1-2 cups, at most 1-1.5 quarts. The smaller discrepancies, were smaller oil capacity engines (5 quart load) and the larger discrepancies were on larger oil capacity engines (9 quarts). Generally, these never showed any 'measurable' oil loss per the dipstick(s). Oil was always within the marked area. Could it have been higher in the marked area one time vs another, I have to assume so, but the level on the stick never warranted a more significant dipstick reading accuracy check. I've come to the conclusion that so long as the oil level is within the range on the dipstick the volume is acceptable. Any loss that doesn't exceed the published acceptable use or fall below the dipstick marking is not considered a problem, meaning, the amount that I see being lost are not 'abnormal' or enough to warrant further investigation. Could it be that your measurement method isn't accurate enough to show an amount of oil loss? (This isn't an insult; I am exploring the measurement limitations of dipstick readings.) To wit, an oil pan that spreads a large volume over a greater surface area compared to a narrower pan would show variations in their measured volume quite differently on a dipstick.
