You need to get it running right first before you start messing with
aftermarket chips and such. It is going to be difficult to get the dealer to
solve your problems. Get a list of specific symptoms that your truck has,
and then work on one component at a time to try to clear up the problem. If
you are just shot-gunning parts you may never get it to run right.
