I'm working on swapping a early 1UZ into a 01. Plans initial are to use both ecms. The early 1UZ computer doesn't have any CAN features that I am aware of. Later on, like to switch to a MS3, Jeep TCU and run the cluster without the Jeep ecm.

Went to look at the github link and it's 404... I take you pulled it down?

Basically, yes. Any existing copies are still valid under the GPL v3 license. I have been approached by a couple companies to purchase the rights to it outright. That's not going to happen though and I will be producing my own product from it.(Assuming all goes well in my own personal world.)

Good luck!

Looking forward to this for a LS swap!

I need to check this forum more often I guess. I have the Chrysler CCD bus standard from SAE, I can't give it away as it is copyrighted but if you have any specific questions I can look through it for you.

This is right up my alley... If you want a custom PCB designed to minimize the number of components involved, let me know, I enjoy working on the kind of stuff. It has always bothered me watching people run two ECUs or gut their stock cluster and fill it with gaudy aftermarket gauges when doing a swap.

I'm actually working on a very similar project for the FSJ world right now since I accidentally bought a J10 to build instead of building the MJ I bought.

I have a copy of that particular document as well. Though I found out about it well after I sat down to do all the reverse engineering.(Argh!)

I am moving into a 30x50 shop over the next two weeks and everything is packed away at the moment.

I am in the process of integrating a haltech 2500 in my Colorado, would you have any information about the 04 Colorado can bus system and address for the cluster?

As far as I know that uses GM LAN CAN bus. There is plenty of documentation around the internet for that protocol.

I am still working on interfacing GM LAN CAN bus. I have a L99/6L80 swap in my LJ tentatively planned for later this year to help validate anything I do. Right now I have Chrysler SCI bus and Subaru Select Monitor 3 in the queue to be worked on as well.

Does anyone happen to have a clone of the github repository related to this project that has been removed?

I've been enjoying reading through this thread very much! I'm in the final stages of installing the new Cummins R2.8 crate engine (diesel) into my 97' XJ. I'd love a plug and play module that would integrate my stock sensors (fuel tank level, voltmeter, speedo, etc.) and the CAN data transmitted by the ECM and send that to my stock gauge cluster. I see it's been almost a year since the last post, did a commercially available unit ever get produced?

Currently my gauges are all dead though my speedometer and fuel tank sensors are hooked up to the PCM and showing power, signal output and ground. My cluster is good per the self-diagnosis procedure. Anyone know how to get at least the speedometer and fuel gauges working while I figure out the rest?? I'm guessing it's got something to do with the 5v supply wire to the cam and crank sensors not showing any resistance and no signal input from those sensors. Any way to trick them? Thanks!

I am shockingly close to a design that I will open source once it's running with my TDI swap. At that point you can make your own for very little money. My price point for components is in the neighborhood of $100, and I'm doing the whole thing as through-hole so anyone can assemble one with basic tools and a beer or two.

I have prototype hardware that I am using to add more supported vehicle buses. I am working on GMLAN and Chrysler PCI Bus right now(Finishing up a LS swap in my Wrangler.)

That's great news! I've got a good friend who's a lot better at this stuff than I am that I will probably recruit for this when the time comes. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with. I would think there would be a decent market for this kind of thing since a whole new gauge and sensor setup could cost over $600 with good components, not to mention that the stock gauges just make for a much cleaner finished product. I'll stay tuned!

That sounds great! How are you liking the TDI? I considered that option but there aren't any junkyards here on the Big Island where I live to pull parts from so a crate engine seemed more do-able despite the upfront cost. The Cummins has been great, just working out a couple kinks with fan controllers and ac lines, etc. Normal engine swap speed bumps.

Is your set-up based on the Teensy chip you and Alexia were discussing? I've never played with anything like this before so I'll be recruiting a friend of mine from the industry that deals with programmable hardware regularly. I'm looking forward to seeing your setup. In the meantime, would you mind providing a basic parts list so I can get things on order? Thanks in advance!
