DP Tuner F5
So down at RRE Nick and I tried installing my DP F5 chip on my truck. We got the PCM out and the silicone cleaned off. Couldn't get the chip to seat right or something and I had to drive 800 miles home so I said let's pull it out all the way and I'll do it when I get home.
Well how exactly does the chip seat onto the PCM? I don't quite understand how 2 flat surfaces are supposed to hold to each other.
Pictures of how it sits in there would be greatly appreciated.
I checked Guzzle's writeup and it has no pictures of the PCM open with the chip installed.

I don't have any pictures,but it just pushes up on it and holds itself there. The problem I had was plugging the wire to the controller. It went on upside down,and I pulled it out 3 times before I realized what I had done....GRRR

It can't go but one way IIRC. I've had mine out several times lately and never give it much thought. Heck, I haven't pulled the PCM in a long time and don't even pull the plastic housing anymore.

Barry what was wrong was I had the chip upside-down.
Now I just need a few more spare minutes to install it. Today was the first time I had a few spare minutes in a long time. It'll probably be Saturday night by the time I get to try again.

Thanks for the video link, Brad.
And my idea of testing it is going down to the abandoned service road and warming my tires up a bit. I wonder if she'll burn all 4 at the same time.
Mike the install was started in TN just didn't work out quite right. Now if I'd had more time Sunday and didn't have a nosy, concerned parent in the truck for 13+ hours it'd be done. We already got the hole cut out and everything we just couldn't get the chip to seat right.
