Live data scanner

I want to read live data on my 95’ f350 but you can’t hook a scanner up to the obdll I tried and it kills my truck instantly when I connect the laptop to it. Wondering if there was anything I could do to get live data on the computer while driving. Maybe take it to get the pcm obdll programed? Don’t know much about it just would like to see the data and make sure everything running well. Tia

This same thing was discussed a few weeks ago. Let the laptop connect and then start engine. See if that works
