Message: [QUOTE="Marty, post: 253412, member: 602"] Well I installed a ts chip and cut the front of the black cover so it could be pulled quickly if needed for tuning updates like I have 100 times.... Well after using electrical tape to hold it in I went for a drive. Switched the program at a red light and the truck shut off. Mess around with it and get it fired back up. Drive it home and shut it off. The next morning.... No start. It fried the pcm. Put a new pcm in the truck and drive on. Called ts performance. Their tech support said that not having the black cover smooshing the chip into the pcm will cause the chip to move around and will fry the pcm. Apparently electrical tape is not enough. So beware to all that modify their pcm boxes. This is the first time I have run into this but it is a several hundred dollar screwup. [/QUOTE]
