De-Chipped my 7.3
I was having problems with my TS 6 Position performance chip for my 7.3 in that it wasn't starting about 60 percent of the time. I would have to cycle the keys before the chip would successfully work ...

I have mixed feeling about new technology.
When I like new engines for way better performance (my 4-banger 2.1 l diesel has the same power what famous Cheby 454 (7.4l)from 1980's), manufacturers are playing hard ball with DIY owners.
I had Ox sensor failed. Not only local dealer wants $580+ tax for sensor ($320 on the net) but software require new sensor coding/adaptation and that is possible only with brand scanners and internet subscription.
So even I DIY sensor replacement I have to take the car to dealer and pay them min $150 for few minutes on keyboard.
To top it the car software gave me 10 start-ups to fix the issue or the car becomes a brick.
Good thing the count activates at speed and I could roll the car around the garage without loosing the number.
Bottom line, aren't we talking conspiracy theory?
