Another Chip Question

Ok so i have another question about chips, a guy locally has 4 sale a tony wildman chip and a DP tuner 6 position chip asking the same price, I am pretty sure I am going to have to send them in to get reburned, but my question is which would some of you go with?

The TS chip with Wildman tunes on it...

If you pick up the DP tuner, You have to pay for the reburn and then pay for each tune you put on it.

If you do the Wildman chip, First off, you have the option to send it to ANY of the custom tuners (Wildman, beans, swamps, Elite, Tyrant, Gearhead....Etc) And secondly, its only a fee to reburn.

From my understanding the chips are burned for a specific PCM code so if it came off a code different from yours then probably yes. You should call him to find out for sure. He's a real nice guy. I'm going to his shop on Friday for a chip and reflash on my ECM. His chips have about the best reviews out there.

Yes, Unless it came off the same year/transmission truck as yours.

I'd really call the company that made the chip. MOST of them actually answer the phone.

Pretty sure it will need reburned. If you got it for 150, I think in general reburns are like 100-150 bucks. I know Tony's are 150 so you still have a pretty good deal on it.
