Should be a alright chip. Is it burned for your truck?? It needs to be specfic to a auto or manual tranny and wont work also if it wasen't burned for a single shot injector truck...assuming that what ya have.

But then again for what ya paid...ya aint out much if it don't work.

just have it reburned for your year truck and auto or manual.
wait to see what the code on it is or if it says auto or manual on the directions. you pretty much scored on that deal. just have it reburned and consider it you saved about 250 bucks. good buy

That is a Van Aaken chip, the switch I don't recognize, but you can get a regular 4 position rotary switch for it.

The chip can be reburned.

Since it is a 4 bank chip, then if it has auto programing on it and you put it in a manny tranny, it will work just fine, pedal will be a little touchy, but it will work.

You can even run a manny tranny burn in an auto, but the t/c won't lock, and you have to shift it manually, fwiw
