I wonder if any of the smart members we have here might be interested in making a device for me. I'm not sure exactly how it would need to work, but I know sort of what I want it to do. I don't think it would be especially complicated to make, but I could be wrong. I'll explain what I know, and maybe someone will be able to tell me more.
One of the projects we have been working on here in the shop off and on for a while has been building an 03 half ton Silverado with a frame from a 2010 half ton and an L5P engine controlled by an LBZ ECM. We used an electronic power rack and pinion from a 2015 half ton and verified that the rack will operate when the CAN wires are connected to an ECM in a truck that is running (connected to an LBZ ECM). What I'm trying to find out is if someone can build a box that puts out whatever signal it is to say the engine is running whenever the box is powered on. Does this seem as simple to someone who really knows what I need as it does to me? If you have the knowledge to make something like this and are interested, please let me know so we can work out some details.
