Hi everyone!!
Ok so i have a chip from fastchip.com (i took my stock chip out and now have this one)
I have a 95 obs2 which has an adld outlet, but apparently isnt fully functional compared to 96+
Is it beneficial to add a programmer if i already have an after market chip?
Also if so any programmer recommendations?

All my truck info is in my sig

No. You don't have a programmable ecm.so it wouldn't work any way.

Ok thats what i was thinking
2nd question is there a programmer i can get that tells me my mpg or at least distance traveled
Since i re geared to 4.11s the speedo is off so im assuming the amount of miles im going isnt accurate on my audiometer anymore

you need to get ahold of Westers and get a proper tune...those over the counter chips are questionable to say the least

Dont waste money on a JET chip or something like it. Save your money and invest in a custom tune, i almost went the JET route on my 95 silvy. After doing research on the subject i found there very minimal gains from a off the shelf chip.

best way to check speed is use a gps...did that to check when l swaped clusters

Yes the speedo and odometer are both wrong. You may have to get a new speedometer gear for it, but im not sure if your truck uses that or if it is computer controlled.
