Glider-Link

Vehicle Data Bus Translator

​

PN: GL7839

The Glider-Link is a revolutionary electronic module that makes it possible to install older engines into newer cabs and restore digital communication between the two.

​

This allows customers to reap the benefits of an older engine, such as reliability, better fuel economy, easier service, and cost-effectiveness, while enjoying the convenience and modern features of a newer cab.

​

Installation is easy, with only six wires required to restore dashboard and gauge functionality, plus an additional wire per cab switch for functions like cruise control and jake brake.

 

The Glider-Link is pre-programmed and ready to go, making it a true "plug and play" solution.

 

Comes with a limited 2-year warranty and no-cost technical support for the lifetime of the product.
