Why couldn't you just cut out the back of the box where it interferes with the chip?

I'm not sure what the other guys are talking about with the PCM casing interferring with the wire. I cut the casing out where I could slide the chip in/out without having to disconnect everything.

Thanks to everybody for all the help and advice. I called Cody this morning and he answered all my questions so I just placed my order! I ordered:

1-Stock,
2-40hp tow,
3-65hp tow,
4-80hp DD,
5-120hp race, and
6-whisper mode.

I did make a mistake though, I entered my axle ratio (3.73) and modified tire size (285/75/16) but somehow deleted my stock tire size (265/75/16).

Cody, if you read this today could you add that info to my order?

Sorry for the mistake and thanks again for all your help.

No biggie. Typically we don't change the tire size stuff for anything smaller than 33" tires since there is no speedometer correction in the chip.

I have seen some programmers that defuel on shifts. Seems like that would save a lot of wear and tear on the drive train, is that possible with a PHP chip on our trucks?

The factory programming has a torque reduction strategy during the shifts. We keep this in place on the towing and daily driving tunes. The performance and race tunes do not have this feature...especially on the 02-03 trucks because of shifting concerns due to transmission hardware changes.

Whenever you have time I would love to know what you meant by this. Especially since I have an '03. Should I be concerned or pay special attention to anything?
