Did you get all of the lacquer coating off of the edge connector? I seem to remember someone else having a no start issue after installing a chip and that is what it turned out to be.

When I installed mine, the truck also wouldn't start. The contacts have to be really clean, think I did mine 2 or 3 times. I ended up using fine sandpaper, because the steelwool did not get all the laquer off. Just be very careful, if you do that...
