Diablo Programer

Well, i ordered a 4" turbo back exhaust, air intake, guages and a Diablo Programer for my 99 PSD and got them today. I hook up the programer to my truck to install the "tow mode"; everything seems to be going fine untill the programer says "Unlock Failed".
My smile very quickly turned to a frown . Needless to say, my truck wont start now. Anyone have a problem similar to this? If so, what was the problem?

By the way, the manufacturer is working with me well to get my truck running again and then work out the problem.

Diablo Programer

For any of you that may have been wondering about the problem i was expirencing, the truck had a superchip chip in it (which i didnt realize was in it when i bought the truck). I took the chip out and the Diablo Progamer was able to restore the factory settings. So all is well now.
I have to say though, the stock program in the truck is SLOW. It feels like im trying to move a 30,000 lb trailer.
