oh.... WGF2 was the old code.

funny thing is they didn't put a reflash sticker when i checked under the hood (i knew they reflashed when i saw the did an emmisions recall fix)... i inquired with the service advisor and he brought out the mechanic who after asking me again and again why i wanted to know told me (of course i ended up telling him i had a chip, something i'd have rather not done). the mechanic got a sticker and told me the new code... then told me that i wouldn't need to have anything done with the chip? i thought that couldn't be true.

also... please disregard my email to you about this... obviously i got my passwd and am able to post / ask this question

great job with the new fourm software

I don't show it in either my Superchips or Diablo cross-references. Probably too new. Its most likely WGF4, which I can reflash the chip for if you want.

Its an educated guess. What you gave me is too new to be in my cross reference list but I show WGF4 to be fairly new. Usually, but not always, reflashes are done within the same family.

ken.... i know it has been a long while on this one and honestly i was turned off fixing it due to the gas prices, but as they have come back down, i'd like to dust off my handy dandy chip and put it back in my truck....

do you have a program for it now???

2C4A-WE


thanks!!

There's a flat $35 to cover our time (includes shipping). Call 770-806-1955. Ask for Jolene and an RA #. She'll set it all up. If there's anything special you want done with the chip (such as 93 octane instead of 91-92 programming), torque converter, shift points, etc., let me know and I'll take care of it.
