i am looking at putting in a performance chip on my truck is it worth it, is horse power and mpg any different?

 

i would personally get a programmer. thats what i did, but its too soon to talk improvements.

you will pay almost as much for a chip as a will a xcal 3 w/ 3 custom tunes from troyer or VMP.

 

Can you even get a chip for them dirtyd88?

 

Aw heck Thumper! You can get an SLR chip that's guaranteed to give you 6+ mpg and 50+ hp. Now do the math: if you get two of them, you'd save 12+ mpg and if you get three, you'll probably start "making" gas!

With results like that, who'd want a mere programmer?

i know i wouldnt!! lol
im sure they have a chip somewhere. i myself have never seen, or heard of a chip for the 4.2. if there is one, only a VERY select few know about it.

 

I'm pretty sure that even the 4.2L in the 2004+ does not use a chip, just a programmer.

 

ooo...i didnt notice it was a 2006...:o:oSORRY

this is one of those moments where you want to go back and retract your statement...

 

Oh, you can, with the "edit" option. But it's better to just "fess up"! Good on you!

(You could still point out that the SLR chip fits EVERY F150 gasoline engine from 1990 to 2008 without ANY modifications! What an amazing piece of engineering! And all for just $69 and some change - does the price say anything to you?)

I know, I should just let it go.... But roaches like this come out of the woodwork every time there's a jump in gas prices.

i'll admit, i totally forgot about the edit button. o well. that is my one "freebie"...

if i had about $4k, i would go buy that SLR chip........$69 for the chip, and the other $3,931 would go towards a new engine/electronics!

dirt bags......
