What I think is funny is that the op hasn't posted back to the thread. There's 3 pages of bs now, with nothing from the op!!! I'm guessing if the truck started and ran fine over his trip w/o the chip, then it's not the batteries. But that's just my guess. It could easily be that he didn't give the correct pcm code when he ordered the chip, but that's speculation as well.
However, he hasn't responded so we really have NO IDEA!!!

If all issues with Ford trucks were dealt with in private between customer and company, there wouldn't be much to talk about on these forums now, would there?
To the contrary, I believe these boards are a great place to find help for problems, as long as it doesn't degenerate to personal attacks like we have seen against, oh say Gale Banks and more recently, others...................

I hope this is a better explanation of what I meant.
As for personal attacks, you and I see plenty of that in another forum on this site, and it does detract from the conversation.

There is plenty to talk about. What my concern is when someone buys a product or service, (which hasn't been determined to be the case in this thread BTW) they should take it up with the company first to get the problem resolved. After it is said and done, they can come back here and talk about how they had a problem with so-n-so at first, but they were extremely helpful and we got the problem resolved.
Gotchya.

always will be! FTE has a hard on for Dp tuner and dont you dare be a naysayer or not think a thread title through!
So dual penetration killed his truck?
RAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! INTERNET, SERIOUS BIDNESS!!!!!!
Everyone on this forum gets butthurt over the littlest things. The guy's title is most likely sarcastic. Or maybe he's trying to get some posts in it to figure out WTF is wrong and the a way to get posts quick in your thread is to put a tuner name or windowed block in your title.
If you ignore the tuner addition and look a the continuous ticking under the hood mention, that's classic weak battery symptoms. It's been mentioned to charge the batteries and try again. Let it play out.

Look, I had the batteries disconnected when I installed, both times. The click is constant once i try to turn the truck over. I have to take the batteries off again to get it to quit clicking, regardless if the key is in.
