a friend of mine has a ts 5 position chip from his '01 SD hes looking to get rid of, i have a '99 SD, would it work with my truck or would it have to be reprogramed? they are both auto trans. Is there anything to worry about when buying a used chip? any advice would be great, thanks!
My tunes are a bit more polished, shifts are nice and crisp, and the pedal is linear in all tunes. My tunes also don't require a boost fooler which you need with the current TS files.
should work.. i run a reg ts .
mine was coded for a nvk pcm, but my pcm is a pmt.
not the smoothest in the world but works for me until .
I get more cash, mods and need tunes.
Because with Matt's tuning he wants the MAP to see what the boost really is because he uses is for what it was intended for... fueling reasons. Him and Bill are the only 2 that i know of that do this. The rest of them just throw a band-aid on it and dont fix the problem.
Don't just toss things at your computer without triple checking that the codes are the same. There are dozens of tear tag codes and they are different for a reason. You might hook it up and it may run fine, but you have no idea what the injectors may be doing to your internals. A couple of extra dollars to have a pro polish your tunes for your truck may save you thousands later. Never cheap out with this stuff, thats how sh&t gets real expensive.

my point was that your chip if on an 01 should work fine on a 99.5. If it feels right then you are okay. Just send it to me once you are ready to upgrade.
a chip for a 01 will work fine on an 00 or 99.5. Like I said i use the EXACT same programs for a 99.5 00 or 01 trucks. Same chip.
