Bob,
I think a few phone calls are in order to those JET guys... Im looking at
lots of corrosion on the lousy tin plated connectors thinking that my
problem lies there! The chip seems to work when it makes a good connection
though... I want my Mopar performance computer...

Bruce,

It's beginning to look like JET still has some R&D issues with their
chips. Mine has been off the truck for almost three weeks now. I shipped
it back, they found a problem with the PC board(explains my check engine
light, rough engine). Had to wait for new labels before shipping one
back. Then they ship me a Stage I chip for a Ram truck.

arrrrrggghhhh!

Supposed to get the right chip in a couple of days. Now with you losing
a second chip, I'm having concerns.

Bob
