my truck recently just has the transmission replaced and nothing other than that.. i have a superchip on the pcm and since my tranny was replaced my truck has stalled 5 times in the last day or so.. and when i remove the superchip it starts right up and acts normal.. it even acts normal with the chip.. it just randomly shuts off and wont give me the light that says "wait to start" until i remove the chip. has anyone herd or seen this problem and what can i do to correct it.. i have a DP- tuner on order wont be here for a week or so.. so what could cause my truck to do this? please let me know. Thanks
Zack

dont know for sure but it sounds very possible that you didnt get the plug in chip connected good ,when instaling chip it has to get god contact or it will n ot operate correctly ,the surface where it contacts needs to be scrapped
almost until you see gold on the surface ,if it is good and clean , may be getting loose somehow

well i make sure that it is all the way into the connection slot and it seems that it is.. but it can be running perfectly fine.. then BAM just stall and it sucks i have to get out and remove the chip to even get out of the intersection...

i guess the chip could be bad internally ,if it cranks back when you pull it out,

there were a few problems with 99 and 2000 doing a pcm reset and cause similiar concern ,was an internal pcm problem ,that would take a pcm to fix , if it doesnt act up with chip out i would look more towards chip or connection
