I have a 74 CJ5 that's been in the family since 1974 it was my dad's how much distance do you have would the battery setup you got

[@4x4EVC-yr1dt]

HI - with the standard setup we are using, 85 Highway / 110 Surface Streets. A bit more for off-road. The CJ-5 is smaller then the CJ-7 so it might be a bit more due to the weight of the vehicle being less.

How are you getting a digital speed signal out of the stock Jeep transfer case?

[@4x4EVC-yr1dt]

I'm using the AEM Digital Dash - CD7 - it get's it signal from the CAN Bus. I built the screen and the gauges on it. The stock speedometer is getting it's speed reference from the Transfer Case (cable). I have a little device that can convert the Transfer Case to a CAN signal but it wasn't worth all the headache of dealing with CAN Bus stuff. I might do that in the future for customers that want to drive every thing from the CAN Bus only. Oh, and one more note about how I'm getting speed into the Digital Dash - you have to set up the added ratios of your chosen gear, in my case 3rd Gear, and your Transfer Case output (1:1) and your final Diff. ratio PLUS your tire diameter. Once you figure all that out, you can get a multiplier, take that number and multiply it by the Motor Speed (RPM) and you have a dead on MPH. Sounds hard as crap mostly because it is. Now you know.
