Sig looks good. What chip did you have? I'm lost.

I sent the whole box to Jody at DP tuner and got the no start, 60tow, 80econ and lope idle and that one is associated with the 120 tune. It came with the ribbon cable and little pushbutton selector switch...the F5 chip.

OK Dave, WHY DID YOU SEND IN YOUR PCM WHEN YOU COULD HAVE JUST ORDERED THE SWITCH/CHIP? Man I feel stupid. Something I don't know with DP?

I must be missing something here. I sent it in because I was going out of town, didn't need the truck for 7 days. I simply took out the box, sent it off, it came back and I put it in. Just ordering the switch and chip would involve taking something electronic and expensive apart, and putting it back together, plus the time to do it. I came home, opened the FED EX box, installed the PCM and turned the key and drove off......

OK, I got you. For anyone following, that is a way to do it but not necessary if you are willing to install the chip yourself. Let us know what you find out Dave.
