Power chip problems

I don't know if this applies to you or not, I have a power chip that isn't perfroming well at all. Its very jerky and the truck even stalls at times on the low end and high end. It has great power, just do not like the performance. Any suggestions? Gary sends

That would work to eliminate the SES light and defueling do to high boost. I personally chose to use this item instead: http://www.itpdiesel.com/OverboostKit.shtm

I like the idea of a regulator better than a relief valve that blows off boost which in my opinion is the equivalent of a small air leak

Take the chip out and see how it performs without the chip. This makes sure there isn't another problem that you are blaming on the chip.

Yea I'm with TheHammer on this one - I run a regulator set up too. No sense in losing psi if you don't have to!

Thanks, for the link that does seem like a better way to go. I just paid for a unit.

Hey gary george, don't feel too bad I have looked three times and I can't find the area on the computer where the chip should be!

You have to remove the computer from the vehicle and then remove it from it's protective case. Once that's done there is a small access port on the back side of the computer that also has a cover that will need to be removed.

Yeah me too at first. If I clicked the link it didn't work. Try to copy and paste it into your address bar, worked for me after that.
