Deployed Soldier looking into TS Chip need some input please

[GotTurboLag]

Well here it is 0355 sitting in Bagram waiting on flight #2 to take me out of this hell hole after spending a year on a hole in the wall FOB and I am trying to dig up as much info as I can about my future with my 02 F250. I purchased my truck as a "gift" to myself after tour #3 down range (my last gift ended up going to my ex wife who then proceeded to sell it for pennies on the dollar for what it was worth... I envy the lucky SOB who got my 89 Foxbody that ran 9s for under 5 grand).

So a little about my truck. It is a 2002 F250 7.3L with a 4'' lift, 35's, Airaid intake, magnaflow 4'' turbo back, boost and egt gauges, 07 front end conversion and I am sure much more that is unknown to me (truck was a repo and seems the guy put quite a bit into it except his monthly payments). Truck has 206K on the odo.

I have a member on the .ORG who is offering to sell me his TS 6 pos chip for 135.00 but believe it will need to be reflashed to my vin/pcm code (correct me if I am wrong). The only reason I am going used is I am on a very tight budget after spending nearly 10 grand getting my daughter and my wifes younger brother and sister (who we recently adopted) moved to Alaska where we are stationed (we are both military returning from Afghanistan). Between that large chunk and the house we pretty much are on a tighter budget than planned but it was all worth it to have the kids under one roof. Now is it possible to reflash the chip and overwrite the tunes (I would rather use PHP vs the others as I seem to be getting the run around on things). All I am looking for is a nice tow tune, cruising tune (45-60hp), race tune (120hp), smoke/lope tune, high idle tune (to warm the truck up in the lovely Alaskan freeze my butt off weather).

It would be great to get some input on this as I still have 24hrs to kill until we make our next voyage to Manas then off to the land of freedom..real food and cold beer.

Look forward to seeing what I can get back in response. If buying new would be the best bet does PHP offer military discounts (shot in the dark but worth a try).

Sorry, no reburns from PHP on another vendor's TS Performance chip.

and what about the other questions asked about possible tunes and if being better off with a fresh chip from PHP and do you offer mil discounts

[ticopowell]

I can sell you mine, you pay me, I ship it to php, they ship it to you if they/you are ok with that...
Sold my 2002 F-250 so I don't need it anymore.
I have it posted in the classifieds, willing to negotiate.

[GotTurboLag]

yah I believe you were asking 250 which is a bit much for a used unit

[ticopowell]

Make me an offer...
