P0683
I installed a hydra in my 2000 F350 last week as well as a new turbo. Everyday and every time since i believe, my service engine soon light pops on after the truck starts, i checked it the first couple times. I got P0683, clear the code, no more light. Ive been reading different threads on various sites and everyone say its a California only code due to a Glow plug module not relay. I have a relay, this much I’m positive and never had the code before. Anyone have a clue what to check, the relay is pretty new and the wait to start light comes on each time. I’m getting tired of seeing a light every time i start my truck

Not an expert at this, but sounds like it may be the chip you ordered is for a Cali model PCM. Remove the chip completely of the PCM and see if the code goes away contact from whom ever you ordered the chip.

I believe NVK4 or 5. Don’t remember which but they’re the same essentially. I start it and run it on 80hp daily, I’m not sure if the tune is php or jelibuilt since I have both and they came preloaded for me

What in the hell?
That #4 and #6 are WRONG. Since you say you start and run in daily (#4), there's your problem.
#4 is a California calibration (going to cause GPCM issues for sure) and #6 is a 49-state F450/550 calibration (won't hurt anything but anybody who sells this stuff (i.e. profits) should know better than mixing calibration hex codes).
I bet #6 shifts pretty early.....

I can change up the tunes even though they’re custom, mods down to the truck but nothing injector or oil related? I don’t really know how early 6 shifts, i stepped on it most of the way and away the truck went, I don’t remember feeling much of a shift though.

Hook the chip to Hydra Flash and do two things.
Delete number 4.Pick VRAA6S3 DAILYLoad that file to number 4 position.Delete number 6.Pick VRAA6S3 RACINGLoad that file to number 6 position.

All changed out. I appreciate the help cleatus. What difference does a tune designated for a 450/550 have vs a 350? Aside from different gearing and being capable of more weight they’re essentially the same, right?
