AEM Induction Systems (30-2226): 6-Channel CAN Sensor Module

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

The new 6-Channel CAN Sensor Module from AEM Induction Systems easily and affordably adds temperature, pressure, fuel level, and tachometer signals to a CD Carbon Digital dash through AEMnet CAN bus. The 30-2226 module supports the Bosch CAN 2.0b standard, making it compatible with many third-party devices that accept a programmable CAN bus input—and allowing you to add channels to a non-AEM ECU, dash, or logger.

AEM’s 6-Channel CAN Sensor Module comes with two 0–5V analog inputs, two temp inputs, RPM input, and fuel level input. It’s housed in an IP67-rated enclosure and includes a 12-pin DTM-style connector and pins.

Features

  • Provides the basic channels that users need to get data onto a CD Carbon Digital Dash in a carbureted vehicle, including tachometer, fuel level, and pressure/temp sensors.
  • CD Carbon Dash owners who are sending channels to a CD Carbon Dash from an OBDII CAN stock ECU can add channels that are not available through the factory CAN stream.
  • Users of a non-AEM CAN-based programmable ECU who have consumed all of the inputs can add channels to the dash.

Northern Radiator: High Performance Diesel Radiators

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

While the plastic tank/aluminum core radiators available from Northern Radiator might look OEM, the company has incorporated design principles found in big rigs for the high performance radiators they manufacture for diesel pickups. Crossover features include:

  • Tank-to-header attachment has a heavy-gauge steel crimp strip instead of aluminum on OEM.
  • Internally reinforced end tubes with bridge clips that reinforce the core’s most vulnerable point: the outside corners.
  • Ribs buttress weak spots on the tank, specifically where the OEM failed to predict flex.
  • Fiber-reinforced plastic and extra-strong integrated mounting points.
  • Proprietary rubber seal gaskets allow for the expansion and natural twisting of your truck’s suspension. Though these gaskets are the number-one critical component, they are often overlooked by designers—not so with Northern Radiator.
  • Core is the best in the business: more fins per inch and heavy-duty tubes cool better than stock.

Aimed at the diesel performance enthusiast, these radiators offer trouble-free OEM mounting and are standard replacement options for existing OEM radiators. Available for various GM, Ram, and F-Series applications.
