If anything thats probably what caused it.
i hooked mine up with the batteries connected. no problems. so i wouldnt worry to much. now if the key was on maybe!

it may have fried your ecu in your truck, my buddy who has the adrenaline and has had a ton of issues with it just called me this morning, he downloaded some new tune and it fried his ecu and he as to replace it now. im gonna wait about 2 more years before even considering buying one, too many bugs for them to work out yet.

"The only thing that doesn't work is the turbo timer"
with the turbo timer go into the settings in the pulse and turn it on either timer or temperature

Tried that. It doesn't matter what temperature or length of time or even if the dumb thing is off. I doubt if the ECM is fried. The truck still starts and runs. Currently the only thing I've discovered to be wacky yet is the brake light.

I sent it in and they sent me a new one. It's waiting for me back in Nebraska. I'll be back by Saturday so I'll put the new one on and see what happens.

So I got the new Adrenaline back and.. IT WORKS!
I love this chip! Seriously, I couldn't stop laughing the whole day! People were starting to worry about me because I was walking around everywhere with an evil grin on my face! I though my buddies powerstroke smoked bad but this thing just absolutely . The only thing so far is the EGT and BOOST don't seem to match up with my other gauges.

Now onto the bad news. My clutch says: "ME NO LIKEY!" and I promptly fried the living daylights out of the sucker. That and my lift pump can't keep up. It will pull the FP all the way down to 3 PSI. I'm also pushing 40 PSI out of my HX-35. So Lift pump, clutch and a turbo are definetly next on the list. Frickin awesome!
