1705. I have a 97 f-250 7.3 ps
It says Error Type 8
I have pulled the power lock fuse and all other
power is off that I know of ,superchips wants no
power so programmer will read my system.
I have put my alarm in valet also, should I
un-plug the glow plugs for less battery drain?

Maybe your batteries are low and need to be charged this may not fix the problem but worth a try, I don't know what error type 8 is ,have you contacted superchips?
FYI I bought a superchip one time and it was messed up I had to contact them directly for an exchange
Good Luck

I called Superchip, The tech guy was'nt real talkative,he said make sure
batteries are reading at least 12.6 volts and it was ok to use a charger even
though manual says not too!
And also make sure their isnt a gold chip by the computer!
I will check this weekend when I have more time,now that I know where the computer is!

The PCM is accessable by removing the driverside kick panel (hood latch release and parking brake area) and then remove the three nuts that secure the parking brake pedal assembly. then you will be looking at the back of the PCM where a regular chip is installed.

I pulled kicker panel and e-brake assembly away and see the
back of the computer took the two screws out of the black box
inside of box is a green circuit boardwith a hypertech sticker on it.
So what do I do next??? Leave circuit board off? and try to re-program
the super chip? or what it is down in the driveway and I will need in a few hours!

you cant put a superchip in the truck with a physical chip in it already. pop the hypertech out and program the superchip and see which one you like better.
