My truck has been dieing last couple of days for no reason. Its just dies like turning the key off. I started back sfter a few cranks every time until today. So I took my chip out and it started fine. I drove it a while then put the chip back in, wouldnt start, took it back out its fine. Do chips go bad???

the chip worked fine for about month it. It only died at low rpm cruising, never died when I was getting on it. I'll try cleaning everything again and reinstalling. Just dont know why it would do that after a month. If computer had bad connection it would do it stock. I guess

Today it was quiting about every 5 to 6 miles I took the chip out, and its been fine for around 40 miles or so. Its a TS chip burned by Wildman I'm going to call him tomorrow and see what he says.

I'm sure he'll be able to set you straight.
