Ts chip ERRRR!!!

Well I was really excited today when my ts chip showed up onthe front porch today. Not so excited after installing it my truck wouldnt start. It would crank for days and glow plug light was on at all times. I had a dp tuner 5 chip it my truck last week and ran great tons of power so i decided to give my bubby his chip back and buy my own. Well I had him come over with his truck a no luck as well sell the cel on his and would crank for days. Do you think i got a fualty chip or just the wrong programming???? CLEANED it several times following the directions

I'd say a bad chip. Send it back and get it replaced. Does the truck fire and run correctly without the TS installed?

That or he over cleaned one of the terminals and there is no more gold left to make the connection.

If he had a DP on already, he wouldn't have had to clean the terminals.

I was thinking the same thing William. Might need to re-solder the terminals on the ECU.

I don't think it is his terminals. Ya'll remember he said he put it on his buddies truck and still nothing.
Bad chip IMO.

That would cause an issue. Usually helps to give the right PCM code. Glad you got it all figured out! It's not very often we hear of TS chips being bad so I didn't figure the chip was bad. Thanks for coming back to tell us what you found out. Have fun with your chip when you get it back
