It would probably be in your best interest to remove the Banks unit, unhook the batteries, and turn the headlights on for 10 minutes (helps discharge all electrical power in the system after the batteries are disconnected). They you can hook the batteries back up. You may want to do this a few days before you take it to the dealer so you can get a few drive cycles into the PCM after resetting it.

yea, do exactly what he said and get like 50 to 100 miles on it and you should not have a problem, but i definately recommend that you DO take off the chip. i recently had some injector issues and had an edge juice chip. so i took it off brought it in and no problemo!

Do you guys think your problems were related to the chip or Banks add-ons??

There are plenty of known issues with the injectors on the 6.0L, so I wouldn't necessarily blame this on the chip. That is why Ford has come out with two different flashes to try to help keep the injectors from sticking. International came up with one fix that vibrates the injector for 30 seconds after the truck is shut off. This was quite loud and annoyed many owners so Ford came up with there own fix. They pass electrical current through a solenoid in the injector to heat it up, thus freeing up the stuck injector.
