First thing you need to do it check all the engine, sensors and computer grounds, make sure they are clean and tight, GM trucks are really bad for loosing grounds. Then hopefully after that you can get it to run live data, and track down the actual problems if the grounds didn’t fix it..

I tried answering this earlier but nothing would post. First thing to check is all the engine, sensor and computer grounds as those are common with GM trucks, hopefully that will fix enough of the trouble so you can get live data up and working and just go from there.
