Yea, I don't think you cleaned the contacts right.
That or you zapped the chip with static electricity while installing it.
with a chip with a "stock" setting, and it doesnt' run right means that it was installed incorrectly.
To clean the contacts on the PCM, you have to REMOVE the PCM from the truck through the fender.

The chip is installed correctly, it was already in truck, it's a bullydog 6 pos. & I had PHP to put in their tunes. Ran a lot better with the bullydog, but I hope it's something PHP can correct. If the 10-k mod is in place can this affect the chip ?

That's probably why. You had PHP tunes burned over a diff chip. I dont know how much this could effect it, but coulda just been a bad burn.
Bully dogs are junk in PSD's.
And yes. The 10k mod shouldn't be in there. Take that out as well. it's messing up the oil readings to the PCM. The chip makes corrections for it.
PHP makes a good chip. I'm overly happy with mine.

I'm gonna un-do the 10-k, if their tunes wouldn't work in my bullydog they should have said something. In stock it changes gears much to quick. In the 80 h.p. it falls on its face, samething with the 65 tow, & the 65 daily driver it aslo changes to soon & dosen't pull right.

Keep in mind EVERY chip guys tunes differently.
If you've been driving with the Bully Dog chip you're undoubtedly used to it. Now you have new tunes set up very differently.
I'd say collect all of your data that you don't like about the new chip vs what you liked about the BD tunes and call Bill. His basic upgrade tunes may not be for everyone and if you're not happy you need to talk with him about it. I'm sure he can change things to your liking as long as it doesn't affect the integrity of his overall tuning.
