Hi.. I'm pretty new to this site and hope I can find some help. 1 have a 1998 Chevy Silverado K1500 pick up automatic transmission and 5.7 engine. I bought a Banvie remote start alarm system with push button start off Amazon. I realize now that there's a huge language barrier with this company. At least from China to Holiday Florida US lol. They have been very nice but all together unhelpful. I have had my pass lock 2 security system erased from my ECU/ECM. So there isn't any factory security system to worry about. And I removed the rod from the steering column that locks the steering wheel. (I was an automotive technician at a gm dealership for 15 years so I'm not totally incompetent, but that ended over 10 years ago and I never ever knew everything and I've probably forgotten more than I ever knew). I can follow directions and diagrams usually. Lol. I wired up a two relay packs for the lock and unlock feature of the alarm system and that works great. As for the remote start. I'm just really not sure what I'm doing wrong. I got my ignition wiring chart from The12volt.com . But I can't figure out how to post questions on that site... I'll attach a few pictures to this also to give you idea of where I'm at. #1 question I can't figure out is where to connect the "oil pump detection path". It is a wire for the remote start that sees 12v if the engine started and 0v if it didn't and needs to retry to start. So the wire needs 12v when engine running and 0v when engine not running. Since the truck has a mechanical oil pump, I tried hooking it to the little wire on the back of the alternator (and it worked for the remote start, but made my voltage gauge read 2-3 volts lower when running). So that's not going to work. I've seen online where people hook it to the tachometer. But the tachs voltage varies from like "I'm not sure" but 4v-10v or something like that. Not the 12v the remote star wants to see. There aren't any dip switches to flip either.... Could they actually mean Fuel pump when they say "oil pump"? Is there a +12v (only when engine running) wire that anyone can think of and help me with? That would be a good start. We can move forward with it from there. The banvie instructions exceeded size. I'll send it in on a response. Thank you 
Thank you, Kurt

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
