Identify this chip, HELP.

Pulled the ECM and there was a gold chip that said " PAC CHIPS". I know that PAC can be or is Programable Analog Chip. I plan on towing anything from a Case 580 SuperL to Concrete job boxes. I want to make sure that I do not injure the truck by chip ignorance.

Case 580 - 14,500lb

2000 F350 DRW CC
4" Stainless pipes - turbo to tail
Cold Air Kit
Pyrometer, boost, trans temp.

Also, this truck does not have load springs. Is this a must for hauling?
The guy I bought it from did take care of it, and he claims to have hauled horses and cattle twice. The hideaway gooseneck still has paint on it.

Any help here would be much appreciated!

From: Enjoying the real world.
A gold module usually indicates a Superchips Module (will have Superchips stamped on it) or a boot-leg with anyone's guess as to what was programmed on it. Its probably either a 60 or 80HP tune. Get an EGT gauge so you can monitor exhaust temps and not have to worry about what's in it --- heat is the turbo killer. :
