Prior to installing - put the key in your pocket and disconnect the batteries.

I had a diesel perfromance shop install it that does 10 of these a day. So what does that mean? I disconnect my battierys everytime that it happens(every 30mins) and it goes away, if the chip is turned up from stock it happens in like 5 mins. my truck only has 135,000 miles on it

are the conections clean?

I have no idea TSD did everything, could that cause my truck to go into limp mode??

So is the PCM dead or does the truck stall?

What happens in "like" 5 minutes? Your going to have to explain what "IT" is.

There is no "limp" mode on a 7.3...

Ok well the trans shop that has done e4od trannies for 10 years said it a limp mode that protects the trans, and "it" is the flashing overdrive light....... They said it could be PCM, and I herd that a ts chip can cause it

So to be clear...

The TS chip did nothing to your truck, or the PCM.

The TS chip added enough HP to kill your tranny. End of story.

Flashing OD light means code stored in the PCM, pull it and go from there. Could be as simple as a VSS in the rear end, or a valve body issue...

I'm sorry if I said something to hurt your feelings, that was not my intentions. However you posted that a TS chip fried your PCM... That was just simply not the case.

I am trying to get exactly what your problem (truck related) is, and what you were giving myself, and others was not enough to get any good information back to you.

THanks!

I've been talking to people on here for days and everyone on here has a different thought, it's as simple as it sounds and I'm confused my self on what it could be that's why iv posted three links about it on here and posted on peoples links talking about this problem. And the reason I posed f*** was because right now I don't feel like replacing my trucks tranny considering its only got 136000 miles and the ts chip has been on it for a week. :argh:

Flashing OD light means there is a tranny or speed sensor issue... Like I said before, might try removing the VSS (Vehical Speed Sensor) on top of the rear axle. Clean it and reinstall. See if that helps the issue. If not you need to get a scanner (not the cheapo ones from autozone but one that will read ford specific codes) and see what the codes are. Could be a valve body issue.

I toasted my first tranny in my first OBS at about 60k, then in my 97 at 120k, and this truck ate trannys for the first 100k, I think I had 6 in that time! lol

Ok well I,m going to rebuild it with all billet parts if this tranny is bad so it can hold hp, not to much for what I want but just so I don't have to worry about it, what do you suggest?

Whats your HP goal?

Powerstroke63 06-13-2012 06:26 PM

Just the ts chip maybe fuel system and injectors, besides that prolly 150 hp area

CSIPSD 06-13-2012 06:38 PM

You dont need billet crap... Get a good 3 disk TC, a good rebuild kit and thats it.

Unless you have experance with trannys I would not build it yourself.

Powerstroke63 06-13-2012 06:41 PM

Yeah I'm not gonna touch it, but I want it to be reliable

CSIPSD 06-13-2012 06:42 PM

Give this guy a shout...
