Is my TS working

[silverbullet00]

I have a 2000 7.3 powerstroke with exhaust, intake, and now a TS chip. I had a diesel shop put it in for me and idk if they did it right. I got the Stock, High idle, 50,75,100,140. I cant tell the difference i dont think and when its on 140 witch is the 6th setting there is no smoke. Should the high idle kick in right when the chip is set on that? i would be able to hear the difference right, cause it sounds the same.

They must not have installed it properly. Your high idle will happen immediately. Should bump it up to around 1,100 rpm. And you most definitely should be rolling the coal in your 140 HP tune. Heck all of those tunes will blow smoke. But the 140 no doubt.

Are you sure high idle is your second setting and not your last? Both chips I've had put high idle at the end so i didn't accidentally switch into it at a red light and rear end the car in front of me.

I just put one in mine. How does your shift'n into high gear feel mine is violent. May be calling PHP or Tony. Mine on the low setting want role that much coal. On 100 it gets on with it, but on 140 I can make a thunderstorm cloud LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

I just put a TS in my truck a few weeks ago and im having the same thing happen with my tranny slam into high gear but it does have an ATS in it too so iono if its the chip or a combo of both.

I think (no dis-respect to anyone) that the TS chip is just like the rest of the programmers. It will run in all models that it is intended for. I think to get the most out of a truck its going to have to have custom tunes. I know a guy that's got an 03 7.3 with a TS chip and it does the same I thought it just might be his tranny actting up but I guess I was wrong, cause it's doing mine the same way. Going to make some phone calls soon.

So do you think that i should pull the plug in outta the pcm and clean the contact area alil bit better? and what do you think would work best to clean the contact area so i wont have this problem

[billydakid1567]

yeah deff. cleean the contacts good .. mine i thought was cleaned off enough but went to start it and cranked and cranked but wouldnt fire then after a good hard srcub with and sos pad works like a charm

[DJKS STROKER]

Cleaning it will help on the starting and the way it function. But what keeps it from slamming into high gear?
