Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) What controler for Pacbrake

[DWest]

I've installed the Pacbrake exhaustbrake on my 02 auto and need a controler for it. At present I have the ATS on it and some issues that I can't get resolved. It unlocks at 30 mph and won't lockup in 2nd or 1st gear at all. There seems to be some issues with the 02 electronics that they are still working on but the fact that they claimed it was the best out there has me a little dissapointed. The trans. has a DTT valve body and TC so its set that way for it. Any ideas?

I had a pacbrake with a ATS controller and the brake would be engaged whenever the TCC was engaged all the way down to 16mph if I wanted and mine was an 02 so I think you're being BSd if someone is telling you it wont jive with your 02s electronics.

The tech guy at ATS told me there were some issues that they were dealing with the 02's. The people at BD said their controler wouldn't work with the Pacbrake on an 02. Rechecked all my connections and the wiring diagram and it all seems correct. He had me cut the wire to the map sensor and then I could get lockup in 1st an 2nd gear but it would still unlock at 30 mph no matter where I set the controller. Could it be the VSS connection? Also when I'm on the throttle the green light comes on indicating lockup but when it levels out in speed the light gos off. When I let off the throttle it waits the normal 3 seconds then the green light comes on as does the exhaust brake and I slow down till I hit 30 and it goes off.

I wish I could be more help but I had my controller installed by ATS at Denver and I couldnt tell you what to hook where but it did work as I described so you do have hope.
