Most on here use either DP Tuner, or a TS chip with tunes from Power Hungry Performance, Tony Wildman, Gearhead, Beans, Tyrant Diesel... THey're all good programmers and can set up your chip settings however you want them.

Just realize that with stock injectors the most extra HP the chip can give you is about 60-70...

You need Stage I's to get up to 140hp added.

Agree with that. And you can ask to the seller of the chip that burns it for Stage I's even when you have stock sticks, works normally, and when you put stage's one you dont have to send the chip for a reburn

So if I buy a ts chip off ebay it will provide what it says for my truck. I have str8 pipe, afe filter. And whats a way to tell if the injectors aren't stock. My truck starts real easy in cold weather so I know the glow plugs are new.

Also how do you reburn it if I update my injectors after I buy it the way it is.

Nope, you get the TS chip off e-bay and then send it to some one to do a custom reburn with your specs: stock, or some mods have you done like shift tranny kit, different turbo, etc, there you may want to say that you need the burn of the chip for sticks I's, even when you have now stock sticks, I hope I have explained myself.

Send it to someone like who? On the page for the TS chip they ask for the year,make,model, and tranny type. So I tell them all that, plus I want it for stock Injectors.
And were do I find the computer at(I looked beside the e-brake nothing there) my trucks a 97? and the PCM code, weres it at.

You can run the TS tunes that come on the chip, which are ok... or you can send the chip to any of the tuners I mentioned several posts ago. Power Hungry Performance, Tony Wildman, Gearhead, Beans, Tyrant Diesel...

Or you can just buy the chip directly from one of them and save a little money.
