There are some instructions for the fpr shim and other cheap mods on there. Its a little more than halfway down.

Hey Red,

As I understand the function of the 10k mod, you might not need to do it. You have "Superchip" listed in your signature. The chip should do what the 10k mod would do.

Hopefully, you'll hear from the more experienced and knowledgeable folks on here.

yeah i think that all the 10k mod does is trick the engine into thinking it needs more fuel to the injectors

I'm not running a chip but, from what I gathered by others here, if you have a chip and the truck isn't running right, stacking another chip on won't solve anything.

You might try removing the Superchip and run the truck with the stock settings. If your truck runs better without the Superchip, it's probably a bad chip. If that's the case, it's time to contact the chip seller and see what your options are. If they aren't willing to replace it, you might take your business elsewhere.

Clean the fpr screen too while your in there. If you haven't already. If it's dirty enough you'll probably like what happens. Instructions for that are on the same page that ForemanES gave you.
