Mike, (and everyone else too) check out this thread. I'm not trying to start a flame war, just curious if this guy really has a point or not.

Shift kit, Chips, Programmers

Is factory_tech on to something or just full of it?
Comments anyone?

 

This is like saying a glass is half empty or half full..?
Tech is using all of his tech skills or reading alot of manuals. This would be a good match for a chip dealer to get in on, IMO. I've had 2 chips 3 trucks,hard shift mod and so far everything is working well.
Of all the posts I've read, Never read where a chip has ruined a tranny, nor proof was N/A.

 

We've seen various "opionions" liek this expressed before, and
that is not born out by any such problems/failures in any of our many, many customers vehicles over the past decade; not in their vehicles, nor in any of ours.

There has not been 1 transmission failure among our customers here at Performance Products from using the Superchip, and *certainly* never anything like an output shaft being "welded" to that bushing from their use, that is simply not going to happen with any product we carry, it never has to date and won't, something like that would take *extreme* line pressure, far above and beyond anything inside any performance chip from a major chipmaker like Superchips, Diablo, or even Hypertech. We know exactly how much line pressure they're using, and it's nowhere near enough to cause anything like that.

You're not going to see an output shaft "welded" to anything from using a Superchip, plain and simple, and it's never happened even once with any of our customers over the past 10+ years.

If there were *any* such tendency for that to happen from using the Superchip, or any other performance chip, we'd be seeing that all over these message boards, and we don't and it's for one reason, that doesn't happen.

I also think it's funny that Ford themselves has some applications where they use even more line pressure than we do, and how do they do that? Right there in the program!

And of course, we all know that no Ford automatic has ever failed on it's own, in bone-stock condition from the factory, right?

Relax guys, it's a non-issue.

 

AMEN, Mike....Well said.

Amazing how well i did (ignorance) before joining this site.
Trying to keep up with all thats posted.....

Point being, ive become more selective about what i read. So say all you want about the computer performance chips......Track record speaks for itself. Pros-cons-good,bad-etc. BTW didnt read that posted link. Really!

Now, bone-stock transmissions, Well, thats another story, if and when my head clears.

Now, dont get me wrong, just amazed at all the tests,reports, etc.etc.etc. Even Ford cant keep their act straight.
Keep it comin!

Good luck. OT
