Disconnect negative post on battery (8mm) Make sure key is out of ignition.

Behind the battery and in the firewall you'll find the computer harness. It's attached to the processor with a 10mm stud. Stick your hand behind the battery and unbolt the harness.

Go inside your truck ( passanger side ) and pull out the computer. It's above the kick panel to the right of the heater core.

Take apart the computer ( 6 - 7/32" bolts ).

Use a plastic fork to scrape the jelly off the contacts and then a scotch brite pad to scuff up the contacts again until you see a light copper color. Don't go too crazy.

Clean contacts with alcohol.

Put computer back together and install chip. Use tape to secure chip to processor housing.

Before you re-install the computer take out the bracket that's in the kick panel ( the one that secures the computer ) and flatten out the vertical tabs. This will lessen the chance of the chip ever coming loose due to vibration.

Re-install modified bracket, put the computer back and reverse the removal process.

Then....
