Phoenix Switch-On-The-Fly Chip (DISCOUNTINUED) (Disabled)
Power Hungry no longer sells the Phoenix/TS chip, but if you need custom tuning we can recommend a few really good tuners that will be able to still provide tuning and support for your chip.

If you have any other questions or comments about the Phoenix/TS chip, please post it here.

There are times that the PCM may be looking up a certain operating parameter from the memory right at the very instant that the chip calibration is changed. It doesn't really happen that often, surprisingly. It's not going to hurt anything when it happens, but it does happen occasionally. The newer trucks are more prone to it than the older ones only because there are far more things going on in at any given time with the newer ones. Consequently, if there does happen to be an interruption in the data fetching, the PCM says "What the ****?" and shuts down. Sometimes, if it's a recoverable error, the truck will simply hiccup and be on it's merry way. Other times, the PCM will not allow a quick reboot and shut the truck off completely. This is why it's better to switch the positions on the chip while coasting....there are very few things "going on" inside the PCM on a deceleration event.



Keep on truckin'!
