where does the TS 6 positon chip plug into the truck, it doesnt look like the obdII port, because I'm about 15 minutes away from buying one and i just wanted to know where it plugs into. thanks

i am not sure but i think it plugs into the port on the backside of the ECM itself like my BD diesel chip does....correct me if i am wrong any of you guys that have one i am curious about these too to they bump up the tranny line pressure and stuff like my BD diesel does

The comp is between your parking brake and kick panel. If you pull the cover (some dont have a cover depending on year) you will see the comp, and on the end of the comp you will see a little black plastic door. remove the little door and it plugs in there. On the door you will see a sticker with a number (example: ADX1) that is your comp code unless your truck has been reflashed.

Ok the TS plugs into the PCM or ECM, what ever you want to call it. The dang computer, brains, control command center, basically the metal box that runs your truck that is just short of being an autopilot. That is where it plugs into. It is an easy install a 5 year old can do it. All you need is the TS chip. Disconnect the batteries, locate and remove your computer of the truck. Then remove the black plastic cover, take a piece of scotch brite pad, and scuff the computer connection that is behind the plastic cover, then you use an acohol wipe to remove the dust from the computer connection, then plug in the TS chip, and reinstall all the computer, hook the batteries back up and test it out. For the line pressure in the auto trans, yes it does raise the tranny line pressure a few pounds. I still suggest getting a shift kit, or performance kit for the trans to raise the line pressure. Also any time you install a performance chip on your truck include gauges with the install of the chip.

On my 2000, I did not have to pull the PCM, just take off the cover and I was able to get to the slot that the chip goes in. Took about 45min because I wanted to make sure that I removed all the protective coating on the board in the PCM.

No need to unhook the batteries, just make sure the key is not in the ignition.

Also, make sure you DO NOT clean the pcm so much that copper is showing, you want to ensure that the solder is still in place, just get the silicone off is all you need to do. I generally just use a small knife and lightly scrape each side, then hit it with some scotchbrite pad and jack daniels, oops I meant rubbing alkyhaul, and the put the chip on, tape it securely with some duct tape or gaffers tape, and reinstall computer.
