6 position switch issues 2000 7.3

Hey guys, running an F250 7.3 350k miles CCSB 4x4.

I originally had a Predator from Diablo, and was gonna load a tune, but it errored out saying unable to save original backup (most likely because PCM already has a tune on it?)

Then I scored two 6 position chips on CL

One is BullyDog for NVK4, one is TS on red board.

I installed BD first, and no change on any of the switch settings. Fires up and runs normal. No Check Engine Light, and no lights on the dash. WTS lights up and goes off. I used to have TS on another truck, and it would change idle in 100hp and 140hp setting.

Then I switched to TS, and no WTS light as soon as I gave key contact, did not even attempt to start it because of that.

What are my options on finding out whats on them chips? One has serial # (BD), one has Job ID (TS)?

I am gonna try cleaning contacts again, and re test.

Got intake and 5in exhaust and want more boost.

Thanks for advice!

Called BullyDog, they discontinued 6 position chips and have no equipment to read or flash them.

TS would reflash the chip for $50

Tony Wildman is $150 for his tunes, is it worth it?
