Default Tach In-Op

Hey everyone, I was hoping someone can help me. I am finishing up our LS2 swap and out Tach is not reading the output from the 06 Trailblazer computer. I have the tach set to 4 cylinder as per the instructions and I have tried it with and without a step up resistor. I used a 10K ohm and a 1K ohm.....
Still no signal.

I was wondering if I could use a Auto Meter tach adapter on one bank and leave the thach set to 4 Cylinder.....?

Look into a Dakota digital tach converter. For some reason the LS2 PCM doesn't play nice like the LS1 and truck pcm's.

I used a 680ohm resistor for my swap. PCM signal and 680ohm resistor with 12v are Y'd to my tachometer which is set to 4 cylinder. I ordered 680k(680,000ohm)resistors at first and wondered why it didn't work.
