Any detonation problems with superchips?
At the risk of starting a 4 page post I want-
ed to ask if anyone has had any det. problems whatsoever with a Superchip
installed in their trucks. I recently had this
problem with another brand of chip and do not want a repeat performance. Forgive the pun,please. I know this a very
popular chip on this site,but don't be afraid to come forward. I just want the best possible product in my truck so let me know. Please don't judge me by this
post,I love this web site and will continue
to visit for a long time to come.

There were a few reports of "pinging" but not a large number. Seems most were the NASCAR trucks. If you search the Computer Chips thread, I'm sure you can find which code(s) were affected.
Personally, I've had three different vehicles 'chipped' without a single problem. Just 'chipped the 2000 F150 a couple of weeks ago.
