Re: Installing Smartcraft on the Tahoe w/ 4.3 MPI
That is what this system does, it isn't just an hour meter. They supply all of the info from the computer, hours, pressures, temperatures, even trouble codes and failures!
It is an amazing system. I have the SC 1000 tach and speedo AND the SC5000 system view panel. I have the digital paddle wheel sensor and the system is connected to my GPS chart plotter. I can set the speed by paddle wheel and the engine will automatically throttle up or down to maintain speed when trolling, whether in swells or turning into wind. I can select a way point on the GPS and automatically the engine computer will read that data, monitor fuel flow and fuel remaining and let me know exactly how much fuel I will burn to that way point based on the current settings. The fault analysis on the SC5000 is very precise. For example, I was having an issue with one of my direct injectors and it would read "a direct injector has stopped working electrically, return to port immediately" my dealer was unable to find anything wrong. I installed the SC5000 and my very first trip out I got this message "direct injector #5 has stopped working electrically, short to ground" I was able to swap injectors and fix it myself! (I actually just needed to put one of my other injectors in that location, the computer just didn't like it in that location!)
