A different kind of chip question - Diesel Forum

Is it possible to have a setting stuck on the computer or not be able to get back to normal? Here is the scoop, I took the chip out but when I did I left it on another setting other then stock. Would that leave it in that position even after you get the chip in again. I used to be able to notice the power increase and tone of the high hp setting in the exhaust when it changes but it seems like I cant anymore. Also could someone shoot me a pm with Tony's phone number, I've got some other possible questions for him.

A chip does not reprogram the PCM like a programmer does, it just overides it. So leaving your chip in a certain program will not leave that program in your PCM when you remove it. When you reinstalled your chip you want to make sure you seated it all the way in and you also want to make sure your switch is plugged in the right way and securly.
