Thank you for doing this video guys ! The install went very well! Only tune that doesn't work is the theft tune, but other than that it really woke my 95 PSD up. Shifted way better than stock, no more hesitation, and starts easier. Totally satisfied customer!
I’m getting my first diesel ever in a week from now and ordering a ts chip 229 and from what this vid showed I’m guessing around an hour of total labor if taking your good ole time this 7.3 will be my second so called obs bought my first f250 brand new in 95 it was a custom order farm truck had the lowest rear end gear and the toughest trans due to special order and the original owner backed out or got denied on his loan it was a beast only thing I hated about my 95 was no freaking ac in it other than that I loved that beast of a truck it hauled any load I threw at it with no issues rust ended up killing that bad boy and will be proud to own a crew cab this time with the 7.3 u dear the hood 96 no rust and looked like it just drove off the show room floor for 24 yrs of age no undercoating what’s so ever either yea it was that clean guy wants 17k it has 180k miles on her I just hope I’m not over paying for that truck I plan on having this truck for the rest of my life lol but up here in Pittsburgh rock salt helps the rust very fast but no matter what I’ll have a comp,etc bolt off resto done to this truck in the far far far future with new everything I do t like these newer trucks with all this bs dings and crap they do and obs to me when I first bought my 95 was considered ford high boy body style those were a beast a real mean beast my old man had 1 when I was little kid loved that truck up u til a jagoff broke into it and stole it from the gas station it was at getting serviced but maybe I’ll make a RU-vid vid of this clean as heck 96 when I pick it up on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week but dropping it off at a ford diesel mechanic to fix a light oil leak and replace power steering line as it has a leak as well he will have it for a day maybe 2 at best how often do diesels get an oil change is it same as a gas engine every 3k miles or longer.
Haven’t watched this video yet, but I love the fact you straight up give your phone number for all the keyboard trolls out there! I also believe if anyone is not smart enough to disconnect the batteries, they can come on over and rewire this CJ that burned up from someone that wanted to adjust their alternator. I never leave comments but I had to give this guy a thumbs up, on the call out!
Great video I Watched the wrong year video first. Came back and found the 97 yr and learned why I could not get it out from the inside. YOU-ROCK thank you John >-W-> Arrow W Trenching & excavating
@6:30, love the hand on head! Thanks for the great info. Was going to call and tell you, but figured it was better you stay at work and make more good info. Or go fishing. I love fishing!
When you are reconnecting any Batteries, it's always best to connect the Negative Battery Terminal first to shunt to Ground any Spurious Static Electricity which may harm Electronic Components.
man wade the hostility in the beginning of the video was over the top all that class of clans must be getting to you lol!!! but I understand and agree completely always unhook the battery's when working with computers
Thanks for the video I have a chip in the truck I bought the truck I am actually trying to figure out why my sensors are all unhooked and trying to find a place to start working on this The video is very helpful I appreciate it
Cant tell you how many people ive argued with over the years about the importance of disconnecting the Battery when not only working on any electrical stuff but, even more importantly when doing any Welding on a Vehicle. I've never seen it happen myself (Because I've always disconnected the battery for Welding) but, ive heard many stories of batteries exploding from welding on a vehicle with the battery still connected as well as burning up Computers and Fuse Boxes and all sorts of problems. But, people are hard headed and think if they did it once with the battery still connected then such advice doesn't apply anymore. You can do something wrong a bunch of times and nothing happen but, it only takes once of something going wrong to really screw something up major.
make sure whoever owns that truck gets the recall done for the cruise control switch on the break master switch. lots of trucks burned to the ground that way
I have a 97 f350 and I want to install this chip. Truck is mostly stock except for an exhaust and intake and I was wondering how much you can tune these engines without running the risk of ruining reliability and causing a bunch of engine problems. I use the truck to get to work and I just want to add a bit of power to get rid of the molasses like acceleration. Thanks
I just installed my TS Chip last night. Installed just as anticipated. Pickup runs great! Wanted to ask you about the "wait to start" light. It used to come on for about 5-7 sec., after install, it's only on for about a second. Should this be a concern of mine? Also, what setting is everyone finding gives the best MPG's increase? What diesel additives do people use for a top end conditioner / anti gel? Cetane? Stanadyne? Lucas? Thanks again for the great video and all your help.
Thanks for this video.... Just the left battery disconnected or both batteries... I have the trailer brake controller on the right, the engine compression retarder on the left, that switch position you showed in the middle is just right lol . thx J Mine is a 96 and I just turned 133k om. Hope I don't break something 😂
If a ts chip has been installed in another 96 ford 250 can you install it in another 96 or can it only be used on the one truck it was first installed on
I know this video is several years old now but what is your opinion on the TS-6 vs hydra on the OBS. I have a 96 with 85k on the clock. All stock set up, nothing changed. Don't need much but would like a little more towing power. Great video and just became a subscriber.
I won’t dispute that the battery needs to be disconnected. However, is it really necessary to disconnect both sides of the battery? I usually just disconnect both ground cables.
I have a question. The previous owner of my truck had a chip in the truck but removed it before I bought it. Will the pcm stay in the last setting he had it in when he removed the chip?
Ok so I'm having an issue that took me two months and 1000$ to figure out that my ts performance chip backed out. Any ideas on how to keep the chip from vibrating loose
Hello sir I absolutely love this product and your installation video. I put this chip on about two years ago and to make a long story short without knowing a lot about my 1997 2w Dr. F350 diesel 7.3 Powerstroke a local Aamco repair shop told me that the chip blow my PCM. I DIDNT believe them but I ended up purchasing a knew PCM anyway. Turns out those idiots at Aamco didn’t realize it was my speed sensor all along that was causing my Trucks erratic shifting behavior and and Towing light on my shifter flashing ,I put the chip in again yesterday and once again I absolutely love it, so just for reassurance for future use can this sensor blow my PCM ?I’m just asking this question for peace of mind.
I have a mp-8 on a 1997 international 4700 with 7.3 it was on there when I got the truck I don't know what any of the setting are or if it works was told to turn it all the way don't touch it the guy I got it from words any help I'd be grateful
Deciding if I should buy one for my 97 it has 319k miles and stock transmission I’m just worried it might blow my transmission or take the reliability away ...?
The chip itself will not hurt your trans, your right foot could! Honestly, we get that question a lot about the 6 position chips. If you notice anything funny about the shifts, give us a call. Other than that, drive it with sense and enjoy!
Thoroughbred Diesel so I just installed mine today but every position takes off slow at first then the power kicks in is that normal? Also my tranny shifts a lot smoother feels really good all the positions seem to be working just fine
Excellent DIY, thank you. One question though. Would it be a good idea to smear a thin light coat of new dielectric grease on PCM terminals, after cleaning off old, before connecting the TS chip to prevent any future contact corrosion? Same with switch terminal to chip board? Thanks.
Gauges are always recommended, but most especially if you will be towing. Remember to run your chip on the lower power levels if you are towing more that 5K.
I installed a TS6 chip as per your video, it works perfect EXCEPT if i start it in any mode other than high idle the engine hunts untill i rev it up, is there a fix for this? at any rate you made a great video.
That chip won't do anything but increase throttle response and a little fuel fuel mileage on an obs 7.3 with stock injectors. The key is to upgrade the injectors with that chip and after that fuel mileage is only affected by your foot but the power is there to use at your discretion
get em wade im with you i prefer to keep any and all electronic components in my trucks alive so i unhook the batteries everytime haha its kinda like my buddy who always argued with me that you didnt need to when welding either and then he fried his truck haha its sheer laziness and stupidity to not unhook the batteries ... i had a couple of kids that worked for me on the pipeline and i always told them do not try to jumpstart any heavy equipment with the trucks .. diesel or gas.... well they didnt listen and blew the batteries up in the one work truck .. as soon as that excavator started it cooked that poor trucks batteries they literally exploded
I have a 97 that’s a manual if I ordered a chip that says it’s for 95-97 manual or MLE is gonna fit or do I have to get the code off of the PCM also on these OBS trucks how noticeable is this chip gonna be?
There are 6 positions on the switch, stock, hi idle, 50,75,100 and 140. We don’t put the 140 in every position because the truck will be more efficient in some of the other positions. All trucks respond different, and you will need different tunes for towing, economy, etc.
Excessive blowby is a sign of engine problems (probably). How you drive the truck and take care of it should be the deciding factor of if you should do any performance upgrades.
Wrong program on my TS6 need TDE recieved AEB for my 97` guessing I just call and or mail back? Wait to start constant, and I hear an injector constant firing? Any chance on next day? I am in COLORADO.
My 2002 with this chip, adrenalin HPOP and straight through 4" exhaust will slip now on 140 setting, but can tow 14000 Lb up steep hills with lower setting and no slip
I just bought my first 96 f250 obs. I found the selector switch hooked up. But high idle is all the way to the left. And the truck shuts off when I switch past the second position. I think it might not be good. Any suggestions?
So some chips are burnt that way. Yours may be, starting from left, stock, hi idle, anti theft, power tune in the other 3 positions. That second click on your is no start or anti theft.
Hello, i'm Martín from Argentina, i have a 95 f350 Powerstroke, all stock, i would like to improve mpg and have some more hp, what chip or programmer do you recommend? I'll be very gratefull with your answer. In Argentina there are not tu much of this trucks.
Not on all 94’s. First it has to be a Powerstroke. Next, you will need to get us the code off your PCM to be sure that it will work with your model truck. Give us a call at (866) 737-4966.
