Default Super chips tuner

So I've got a superchip tuner on its way, it's the max micro tuner. As most of you know I don't know much but I try and learn as much as I can, are there any dos or donts when it comes to tuners?

Don't unplug it while you're flashing the PCM. Otherwise they are pretty much fool proof. If you bring your truck in for service, flash back to stock to avoid any possible headaches.

Hopefully you didn't pay more than $50-60.

I paid 135. They are for sale brand new for 300-400.

Is disabling my fuel system necessary?

No. Just plug it in, click a few buttons and wait for it to flash. About as simple as it gets as long as you don't unplug it mid process.
