What code PCM do you have? I have my original NVK2 pcm sitting around and if you need it, I can send it out. I know it works 100%, I just bought a PMT2 and put that in. They're in the same PCM family so depending upon what code you have it may just drop in and work.

Is your switcher working? When I put my F5 back in, I was in a bit of a rush and did put my cable on upside-down... and the switcher was dead. Didn't hurt anything though.

So I hate searching through threads that look like my problem just to find the the OP never posted up the fix, so I'm back.

After swapping my cable and control module with Jim's at the NEST GTG to no avail, I called up Jodi Tuesday morning (I was busy on Monday). We went through the process of resetting my chip and reflashing all of my tunes but things were still broken. Even though I thought there was a reasonable chance that I had sanded my PCM contacts too far, he insists on shipping me a new chip to try as a last resort. Low and behold one overnight UPS shipping box later (thanks again to Jodi for that) I have a new chip in my hands Wednesday afternoon. Wasting only enough time to eat some lunch I headed out to the truck to pull the PCM yet again (I'm probably up to 10 R/R at this point). Swap the chip, remount, and voila, my truck fires right up Not sure if there was a problem on the chip or the way that it connected to the cable, but regardless, new life was breathed into my truck. Thanks to Jodi for his excellent customer service.

Greg I just installed my F6 chip today and all went well except when it came time to reset the switch . I had to do it a few times to get it. So how does the truck run. I had a superchip in my truck and in the highest setting which I think was 120hp my dp at 80e has about the same power. For sure dp is far better. It seems my bottom end is not as strong as I thougth it would have been. It seems like my rpms revs up to fast. Didnt have time to drive it longer, do more test tomorrow. Let me know how your truck runs.

Thanks
