..."hey let's make a campfire blower", and "can we weld copper to steel?", and "let's see what happens when we run the 12V fan on 120V"...

In all seriousness, my mind is boggled that I was able to do it period.
This was hands down the most complicated project (home, truck, or work) that I've worked on. Looking back it seems simple, but that wasn't the case during.
It was fun though. I want to put another one of these in something else now.

Rob (doesn't know it yet) and I are opening Bluff City Hybrids, an un-authorized dirty Memphis wing of Valley Hybrids.
We hope your junk doesn't get stolen from my carport. (I did have one carport break-in during the swap, true story.)

I like that scan gauge. Does It just plugs into the OBD port? Any other wiring involved?

No wiring involved, just plug it into the OBD. It gets the power and everything through that.
Once calibrated, I should be able to calculate mpg and miles left on the tank and other things like that.

Also in one of the coldest winters Memphis has seen in a long time. Great work Cam!

Thanks man! Come up and take it for a spin. Heck, anyone is welcome to come by for a testdrive.
Saw it with my own eyes yesterday. It's very impressive. Sounds incredible.
I'm proud for you but I aint spinning on nuthin of yours....

I have a working tach now!
I used an OBD tach signal generator from Dakota Digital.
Before I call it a success, I need to get an OBD splitter and make sure the scangauge will read at the same time without issue. (I have another plan if that doesn't work.)
The scangauge wires are now hidden as well.
I'm digging the scangauge. Once you calibrate your gas tank and fuel usage, you can use it to track your mpg accurately as well as miles left on the tank, gallons left... and so on. Standard stuff in modern cars

You used the same color wire (green) for both power and ground??? That's asking for trouble if you disconnect that thing in the future and then go to reconnect it. At least put a wrap of colored tape near the end of the wires to identify which one is which --- like red for +12v and black for ground. It could save you an expensive boo-boo in the future.
