Here ... this is super chips installation guide.....

I've never installed a chip yet. But all I can say is make sure your connections are clean on the board and it's seated correctly.
Maybe someone else will chime in with more first hand insight.
Or give them a call .... their techs are very helpful every time I call ...

Are you sure that the chip is for your truck? Each ECM is programmed with a code that must match the chip programming.

Wipe the heavy gunk off with a little piece of scotchbrite pad with nail polish remover on it. Then make a little scrape in each of the boards contacts with a pocket knife.
If you are installing the chip with the PCM mounted in the truck and the batteries connected, make sure the key is not in the ignition.

I don't know if you pulled the computer out, but that's what Jody at DP tuner recomends. And doing so, I know why. That crap on the connectors is tough to get off. Jody said to use acetone and a scotchbrite pad. You can get acetone at any hardware store. I almost went too far, I could see the copper starting to show throught the silver pins. I would scrape a little with a pick and then scotchbrite with acetone. My chip had no problems at all. Hope that helps.
