Listor, just to close the loop on my suggestion for you a bit in case you were not familiar with the procedure for looking up the PCM code via Forscan, I have provided a link below.

i forgot that 00 was already a stock setting, so i have adjusted the program list accordingly, going to find out what the whisper does
It seemed like maybe i tugged the chip a little, i pushed it in some and everything was fine, was to tired last night to consider that!
And again i have to thank all of you guys that have helped me with your awesome advice, you rock!

Isn’t the PCM code also on the black plastic plug you remove when adding the chip? Just a thought. 
FYI as you probably already know, the PCM must be free of all the silicone. Tricky thing knowing when is enough but not too much cleaning. I’m sure I fell into the too much category.
I think PHP has their own video on how to clean the contacts.

Oops we were posting at the same time.
Please do not adjust the chip while it’s running. Not saying you did that, but just wanted to throw it out there for safety sake.
The 00 setting is what I was trying to express the other day but didn’t communicate it very clearly. There should also be a “ns” or such above all the numbers for no start.
Anxious to hear your review.

FYI you should be ok on EGTs for some short fun bursts even without the gauge.
Careful not to scare your passenger too badly.

Oh, and I was thinking mine would read “ns” at the top setting but I’ll trust what you’ve read recently over my memory.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I also think that any slot you leave empty will act as a no start.

00 - is stock
NS - No start
These are built into the Hydra programming and can be found by cycling through the different selections. If a slot is left empty, the Hydra will skip to the next programmed spot. For example, if 3 was a tune and 7 was a tune but 4, 5 and 6 were empty, it should skip from 3 to 7 when changing the selection.
Listor, based on your printout above, you appear to have "dead pedal" in spot 15. This is different from "NS" because the NS tune will not allow the truck to start. It will crank, but it will not start. With dead pedal, the truck should start, but the accelerator will not command fuel to the engine.

“I swear hunny, just needed maintenance items.”
It is really nice to get the 3rd party unbiased confirmation of your work. My wife is oblivious to any truck stuff so when she notices a difference it means it is real.
I have since moved things around, 00 is stock, 15 is no start , I am having a couple of glitches, everything was working fine was sitting in the line at the carwash and it just died

I think you’re heading in the right direction here. My feeling is that you have a poor connection to the PCM. This can end badly with a fried PCM from what I understand. I would make this my 1st priority.
