    6.2L L94 & 6L80 into my 1992 Blazer

    I'll be building a new instrument pod. The tablet display is about the same width as the area the actual gauges take up on my '92, but a bit taller. So there is more actual area for the gauges, but a new pod is required for the extra height. To the left and right of the tablet will be lights for...

    More attractive, but yes. That's the basic design philosophy. :)

    Great question!!! Bluetooth is not fast enough. It's too slow to connect, too slow for the needles. really, the needles are completely usable, but a little too notchy to be attractive. USB solves these issues. Too many wires for hanging on a bracket, but once it's permanently mounted, no problem...

    ??? I assume by ECT you mean Engine coolant Temperature? So yes, the upper left gauge shows the stock sensor. All of the gauges show what the ECM is seeing, as the ECM is supplying the data. "I MPG" shows the DFCO kick in as well, and is useful for other things too. Anyways, the neat thing is...

    Tranny temp is already there--upper right, as is ECT in the upper left. . MAF, MAP, and Fuel Flow will be on the diagnostic page when needed. By tracking I MPG and A MPG you know all of those are good. If "I MPG" drops off suddenly for the conditions hit the diagnostic page for in depth...

    Too much info and you can't absorb it without taking your mind off the road. Of course, it's easy to put warnings in the background with this dash... What data would you add?

    Not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic... :) Anyways, I've come to this design because it's what I can take in in a single glance. The clock is a different color, because it helps me ignore it unless I'm specifically looking for the time. The four upper gauges all point to 12:00 if...

    6.2L L94 & 6L80 into my 1992 Blazer

    Here's the latest version of my dash. Needle positions and numbers are random and nonsensical in these screen shots. The upper four gauges turn red individually when out of safe operating limits. The crosshatch pattern over the speedo and the red push button top center appear if the connection...

    Well it's been a couple of months... The truck is running outstanding. I switched mufflers to a different Dynomax VT; simply outstanding sound now. Very quiet until you get on it and then a very nice roar. I'll post part numbers soon; suffice it to say that the Dynomax application chart is...

    Hey Steveman! Yeah, It's been a hectic summer! The Blazer is running phenomenally well. :) So much better than the 350. Quiet, except loud at full throttle, smooth, gobs and gobs of power, great gas mileage. I'll post up again in the next few weeks with video & photos. I've learned quite a...

    No worries on the questions. :) The '92 ECU only controls the engine, and maybe the clutch on the torque converter--I don't remember for sure about the latter. Anyways there's nothing left in the truck it controlled. Stuff like AC etc was still all manual in '92. That made for an easy swap...

    6.2L L94 & 6L80 into my 1992 Blazer

    That looks like part of the manual. I looked on ebay and found a couple of auctions. I'm not sure how many of the four manuals you need. Here's an auction with all four manuals...

    Yep, the L94 is DBW, and you have to keep that to retain DOD. And I already told your Mom... :jester: Anyways, you'll want to get a factory shop manual--NOT chilton or Haines--and study up on the systems for your vehicle. You need to know what you're keeping and what you need to keep it...

    I'll get some pics and video up soon! It drives SO much better. I love the 6L80. The power is ridiculous. Theoretically, it should get better gas mileage around town, but it is WAY harder to drive it with restraint. Before if I floored it it made a lot of noise and really didn't do all that...

    6.2L L94 & 6L80 into my 1992 Blazer

    Boy, the cost can vary pretty widely. My costs are on the high end because I'm doing a complete restore and going further than is required. When I'm done I'll have 30K into it, but that's new everything and most of it factory. (Interior & paint included.) You can go the minimum necessary...

    Minnesota? Hawaii, maybe... :) Absolutely I'll post the skin. I'm posting this thread as paying it forward for all of the help I received preparing to do this swap. I only ask that others who get help from this thread post their own experiences to help the next guy.

    Nope, I like listening to my own music. Radio has so many commercials I can't even listen to it. Yeah, using tablets is starting to catch on. They are just recently bright enough with enough contrast to be usable. The dash program Im using is DashCommand, and I'm custom designing the skin...

    No, not at all. It'll be an Android tablet that I'll mold into the gauge pod. I may have to modify the pod as well as It may not be tall enough; it might be just about .5" short. The display area of the tablet will be identical in width to the factory gauges, so gauge real estate will be just a...

    Thanks! Here's what a gauge out of safe range looks like:

    :) Doesn't need them yet... The rear geometry seems pretty stable. The Eaton Tru-Trac is certainly a blessing.

    Thanks! Yeah, I stressed the expense a bit, but as soon as I drove it with Torque Limits disabled I decided it was totally worth it! Just light throttle and it leaps forward like my old Corvette. :)

    :) Actually I have the shift points set pretty low for break in. Even at WOT it's shifting at 4000. I'm a big believer in various cylinder pressures--including high ones--during break in. I think the higher pressure helps seat the rings properly. (That's also why I've disabled DOD for the first...
