i got a ts chip today. the box has a NVK4 code on it and my truck has NVK5. can i use it or should i send it back and exchange it? got my truck tore apart and i need it in the morning. thank's

Hummm............I think NVK3, NVK4 & NVK5 were all in the same family so I think it will work. Wait for some more replies.

I used an NVK4 Superchip with an NVK3 pcm for several years.

Is this the first time you have ever installed a chip? Reason I ask is that I have seen a lot of chips installed - and everyone of them that did not start was due to the contacts not being cleaned properly. Some don't clean enough - and some only clean one side. Matter of fact on my very first chip (from TS also) - it did not start because I didn't clean the contacts good enough - sooo - just a suggestion.
And just a reminder not to leave the key in the ignition when you are messing around with this - very easy to fry stuff.

Good luck with it -

And remove both negative battery cables too.

yeah both cables are off and key out. so when i clean the contact's do i clean them till they turn copper or just till the clear is off? i went till the clear is off.

Til the clear is off. You should be able to hole the ecm up to a light at an angle and see whether or not all the goo is gone.
