Hopefully it is still labeled with the PCM code. Compare that to yours. It will either work or it won't. I did the same thing and even tho the PCM was the same, it just falt out didnt' work. No start no nothing. I call about it and they said bad chip. Either they work or they don't.

DO NOT have your keys around when installing it. Not even in the ignition.

And in case it wasnt shared with you yet DO NOT have your keys around when installing it. Not even in the ignition.
Your pocket, or in the house on the counter is even better.

The 1705 SC programmer is a handheld with a cable that plugs into your comp. port under the dash like Ray described. If it is the handheld version, you will need your keys to turn the key to the starting position to select your power levels and program the PCM, I have one, for reading codes now., 60Tow, I think 90 and 100 performance. If its a chip you put in the PCM, then hide your keys goes into effect.

awesome, so even though he used it on his truck there is a good chance i could use it on mine? he was under the impression that it had to be reset because he had to enter his VIN into it. thanx again

thank you, i dont think he put it back to stock and he doesnt have the truck anymore. i have a k&n filter on the truck now but i was told that these trucks dont like the oil based filters. what kind of exhaust do you have. I was told that the straight pipe is very loud inside the passanger comparment.
is 4" or 5" better, thanx again
