?? on pulling a chip out......

I have no experience with chips. I have always used a programmer. My question is can I pull the chip and run the truck without it or does it need a stock chip put back in to run? I think the chip is bad. I bought the truck and the previous owner said it had a chip of some kind in it. He did not know what type.

Just make sure that your truck keys are in your pocket and pull the chip out. The truck will run on its stock programing.

thanks for the reply. Can the chip be pulled without taking the inside fender loose and pulling the PCM?

Yes. Remove the three nuts that hold the e-brake chassis. Slide the chassis off of the studs. You will then see the back of the pcm. If done right, it will have a piece of tape holding the chip tight to its seat.
