Default What Chip or Program do I have???

I have a 2000 Ford F-350 that has a chip or program but I dont know which one it has, Where are they located or how do you find out what it has? I found a super chip sticker in the glove box when I bought it.

Welcome to the site!!!

I would bet money you had a superchips programer on there, I have not seen anyone running a superchips chip in years.

If the truck did not come with the programer I would bet it was returned to stock and you have nothing.

You can check the PCM which is located down by the E brake, but I would highly doubt you have a chip in there at all.

I took it to the "the best shop in 100 miles" and they said it was running probably 70 hp more than stock, the guy I bought it from said it had a chip/program, I was just wondering what program it may have so I know exactly what it has, I want to go to some sort of controller, maybe 110hp.

get some custom tunes on a 6. pos. chip, you'll never regret it, call up Power Hungry Performance, Swamps, Beans, Gearhead Automotive, really anyone of your choice on that part of it

Its impossable to tell, without the programer. Your kinda screwed now, because you should really have a stock flash on your PCM before chipping it.

I would get a TS based chip from one of our vendors, but take your truck to Ford and have them put a flash on the PCM.

Also you should have some gauges before adding any power, Pyro, Boost and Tranny temp are the normal 3.

fill out your signature so we know what all you have that way it'll be easier to tell you what to do next if you don't have intake and exhaust i'd do that next, if you do, then you're ready for a custom 6 position chip
