Ok folks,, I've read lots of good info on "chipping" my 99 4.2L here on this site, and now I'm going to do it. I hope it'll put some snap where it's badly needed!!

Karick11, you will not be disappointed. My truck was strong before I chipped it. It's even stronger now. I check the gas millage and it get better than 21 on the highway. That's 21 mpg in a full sized pickup and it with my mods I figure it has a little more horsepower/torque than the 4.6 v8 has in stock configuration. My truck is a thrill to drive. Watch out when someone makes a blower for it. :-)

DAMN FLEXING DOOR CRACK!

Ford Engineering, reinforce the curve in the door! The cracks will stop.

 

Bill,, thanks for the 1st hand data on chipping the 4.2. I'm sure I'm going to have a good time with it. Now the 3.55's will pay off!

Mike, I'll be in touch in a day or two to get things going on the chip. Glad to hear the word "discount" associated with the order. We do like discounts!! I'm definately psyched on feeling the results.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to end my messages with a list of goodies that my new 99 has. ( Hey, I'm learning!!)

C-ya......... Rick "karick" Lynch.....

Thanks Mike, I'll be calling you today to order the "kick in the can" chip for the DQE2 comp. code. One quick Q for ya. I live in Rochester NY, and its kinda cold up here, is the chip going to allow for smooth operating with choke, poor gas quality, etc?
Thanks
Rick.

 

Thanks Mike for the great conversation and the great service. I cant wait to install the chip and feel the difference!

 

It's on it's way, and yes, it will be just fine in cold weather. Fuel injected vehicles do not have a choke as such, the ECU's program simply senses the temperature from the IAT sensor, and compensates once it compares that to the coolant temperature, for proper fueling for cold starts, you see.
