question about ts chip

I installed a ts performance chip on my truck today and im having problems when running it on the 140 hp setting. All other settings work great, but on 140 it wont hardly run. It lopes so bad it will stall and even trying to ease into the throttle it will fall flat on its face and then gradually recover. Any ideas?

ya...check your oil level. Plus your stock truck really doesnt have the Hardware to support that file.

i checked the oil and it was fine. My first thought was that i had a bad connection so i took it apart and cleaned it again but had the same results.

Sounds like a bad program to me. I have heard of Ts chips doing that in the past

well i have almost all the same mods as him and i run the exact same file 140 all the time cause i get better mileage my truck runs fine on it but i am going to have tony reburn it for me but
as to the problem with the chip i would say it is a connection problem take it out again and clean it good i mean real good i had a huge problem with this after i cleaned it it worked fine
good luck
