I still Dont Know??

[Stroken97.250]

Im still having problems with my truck and installing a chip. when i plug in the chip the wait to start light quits and the glow plugs dont engage and the truck wont start. its done this with a ts 6 stage chip and a bully dog 40 hp chip. i cleaned the pcm really well like u guys reccomended and did not notice any change to the problem. is there any other possible problems that it could be>

It is probably not getting good connection. Make sure that you have all the protective glue/silicone off of the pcm. I had the same problem you did and cleaned it a little better and now i don't have any problems.Make sure to clean top and bottome of the connector to get a good connection.

ok i can try it again. i used electric contact cleaner a eraser and cloth to clean it all up last time. i can try again though. should i be reinstalling the chip with any of that glue or silicone im removing now? and if so what kind?

[STROKE_THIS_F-250]

No, the chip will stay in there fine without anything, i do recommend putting tape around the chip to hold in there a little better and to keep dust out.

I forget what its called, but i used the sponge type sanding pad to clean off the connectors on mine.

How did you fit a 5 inch downpipe on your truck and why did you go to 3.5 inch straight pipe after it?

I think that mite be a misprint lol i was in a hurry.. so this is a dumb ? But the plug behind my e brake where the chip goes is that the pcm or the ecm? and whats the difference.

and about my exhaust i need to look on my truck again im not for sure it was installed on my truck when i bought it

I am pretty sure its the PCM.

Did you have the key in the off position when you installed the chip, You really should have the key out of the ignition and the batteries unhooked when you put a chip in just to be safe!

make sure the keys are far far away from the truck when doing this mod. and it is the PCM behind the brake

if you did not disconnect your batteries when you pulled the pcm you could have caused a short circuit and fried your pcm
