A lot depends on how the chip was set up, built trans, more fuel, etc.

You'll want to have the same PCM code as the chip was tuned for.

If none of this matches your set up, you'll have to send it off to have it tuned for your vehicle.

ok thanks alot. ill try and get more info from the guy and see if he has a clue as to what pcm he had. oh and where are my pcm numbers so i can check mine as well?

[carolinaboy02powerstroke]

These are instructions on how to install, but the # is on the side of the pcm. You have to take it out to read them.

The chip wasbon a 01 f350 and i have a 02 excursion but he doesnt know his pcm code

If you take a mirror, you can actually read the PCM code pretty easily. Look on the fender side of the connector, under the hood below the Master Cylinder, with a flashlight reflected into the mirror. No need to disconnect anything.

It's in the largest font, 4 characters, mostly letters (my '02 is VDH4)

Its not the we cant read it. He doesnt have the truck anymore

Plan on getting custom tunes made specifically for your truck(mods/pcm) then.
