The techs at code are idiots. That unit works perfect without a tach. However, make sure you have the control switch plugged in and turned on. I usually remove the switch and just connect the two wires on the switch together. I believe 7 flashes on that unit is the control switch. However, that hasn't been a current model in a couple years so I can't remember for sure.

The most streight forward bypass for an excursion would be a 555f from DEI if you can find one. The other bypasses that require one to hook into the tx and rx wires from the pats ring are not for beginners. Another option is to order an extra key from Howard Keys and use a universal module. You just program the key to the truck and put it inside the part. All of these options besides the databus module require two keys to program.

It will have two wires coming out of the bypass. One will be read and go to constant power. The other will be blue and go to the blue with black on the ca-610. This wire has ground only when the vehicle is remote started. The 555f will then have another cable that comes out with a pellett on the end. You will mount this pellet behind the steering shrould as close to the front of the encoder ring on the ignition switch as possible. After installation you will turn the first key on until the security light goes off. Then insert the second key until the security light turns off. Followed by remote starting the vehile. This three step operation will teach the PCM in the vehicle the new key code generated by the 555f.

Your probably in over your head. That part is a piece to begin with. I would throw it away and get a 555f from ebay. They are less than $20. If you really want to try to use that unit I will try to talk you through it. However, you should know you are messing with wires that if you screw up the repair bill will be in the 1000's of dollars.

If you want to try to use that peice go to Upgradeable Vehicle Interface Kit - www.xpressdownload.com, then click on istall guides, then pick xk04, then pick pkford3.0 file, scroll to third page od directions and look at connector A. This will give you a pin layout of the pats harness coming down the colum. This plug will be to the right of the colum held to a metal plate with a clip. When this pin layout says tx they mean the same thing as what your part calls immobilizer sync cap.
