my truck wont accept a programmer? !
 

I recently purchased a 99 24v. Well my buddy had a superchips programmer that I wanted to try out. We plugged it into the obd2 port. The programmer would light up and go through all the motions and in the end would say either vehicle is a stock settings or say no vin. Any ideas?

what year of truck did the superchips come off of???? ceetain modules are for certain years and so on:c: you could always run the superchip product number on google or something and see what years it will fit

It says it fits a 99 and my buddy had a 99 that it came off of

ok do you have to put any information in it once you plug it in?? like truck model and so on.. im shooting in the dark here never had or messed with a superchip, ive always used edge programers

Once I plug it in all it says is start with ignition off. Then im guessing it reads the truck and says turn ignition on. Then ask if I would like to program the truck and I click on yes. Then it'll start reading. Then it pops up with truck is stock umplug programmer or no vin

ok i just printed the manual for the superchips flashpaq thats what it is correct?? im at work for another hour and when i get off work i will read through the manual and see if i can help you out any:c:


are you doing the quick start--the flashpaq set-up or quick start--program my vehicle with superchips now??????

Thanks man I appreciate it. On a side note have you heard anything about the quad xzillarader race mod 2?

Does it say no vin or locked vin???? If it says locked vin then you need to put it back on your buddies truck and put his truck back to the stock settings in his truck then you can try it again in your truck... The reason being that once you've used it on one truck it's locked to that truck until you turn it back to the stock settings there for not being able to install on your truck

It says no vin

did your buddy turn his truck back to stock??? there is nothing in this manual for the superchips that says that no vin is one of the possibilities for it to come up and say:c:

Yes he did. I found another superchips programmer and tried it with the same results. Could it be that my trucks computer is bad?

i really dont see it being your computer.. i would think if it was the computer that your truck would be having some other symptoms other than the programer not wanting to work.. did the guy you bought the truck off of ever have a programer in it????:tu:

just wandering if you got this problem resolved yet:c:

Sorry buddy ive been busy here lately. But come to find out down the line this chip has been on this truck before. Then it got pulled of and another guy had it. Used it for a bit untill he sold his truck. But no sir its still not taking it

he didnt happen to leave it programed to your truck did he that would explain it not taking as well
