Wow! I thought I was the only one with these problems. I do not have any electronics other that what came on the truck. I think it is very possible that Sal does not return your exact chip when he does a re-burn. The chip I got back from him looks newer than the one I sent in. I could be wrong but that would explain the no problem before re-burn and then a problem after re-burn like Chris and I had. Chris, you have the exact same problems that I have except the problem at 4100-4300 RPM's.
Sal, when can we expect a fix? I can't even run the chip at all for being afraid the truck will die as I cross an intersection and get me killed!

The main problem is that there are no trucks in the area of Auotlogic that are doing this, so without them being able to see the problem, they can't do much to help. This issue seems to be only on the Lightnings, so Autologic designing a whole new chip is out of the question. But I am working with autologic, as well as a few helpfull customers (as I have no trucks locally doing this either) to figure out the actual issue. Once the issue is 100% identified, then we can solve it. It is a bit of a strange issue, as I've done multi program switched chips for years, and this problem has only just recently come up.
For Jerry and anyone else who thinks they have this problem, if you want to try what I've got others trying, then do the following procedure:
On the chip there is about 6" worth of 4 wires, one red and three black, coming off the chip. The 2 way or 4 way switch wiring is then attached to the ends of those wires. Cut the 4 chip wires right at the spot where they meet (leave as much of the actual 4 chip wires as possible). Then, to access your programs, strip about a 1/2" off the chip wire ends. If you look closely at the chip, you will see that the 4 wires come out of the chip in a row. First the red, then the three blacks. For program 1 on the chip, leave all 4 wires disconnected. For program 2, connect the red wire, and the first black wire next to it together. For program 3, connect the red wire, and the second black wire. For program 4, connect the red wire, and BOTH the first and second blacks. The 3rd black wire is not used.
If anyone tries this and it stops thier issues, please let me know. The more information we can gather from customer feedback, the faster we can resolve the issue. Thanks to all for understading.
