Those Arduino are pretty awesome on what you can do with themI made a push to kill off the alternator lamp by fooling the ford ECM today. I found a decent video detailing the smart alternator logic, and set up and Arduino to read GENCON, buffer the duty cycle, and return it on GENMON. I'm in hopes varying the delay will mimic actual load response time and shut the lamp off.
I also picked up the 5.4L oil pressure switch and plan to install it this week to get rid of the oil pressure lamp. I spliced the ford circuit to the Cummins circuit, but that causes the lamp to be on any time there is oil pressure.
Both of these are things I've tolerated but always planned to correct. Even after four years. I'm in hopes that will be enough to get rid of the wrench symbol on the LCD display as well.
That will leave getting the gear position indicator and cruise control sorted.

as for the oil pressure switch are the signals opposites?
