Holy Crap you are old! I was BORN in '92...

I would recommend removing the jet chip. Tuner's actually reprogram the PCM, while a chip just modifies the stock outputs to make them a bit more aggressive. Problem is, the PCM automatically adjusts it's outputs so that the inputs it receives back match the factory spec/tune. So the computer actually beats the chip, rendering it useless.

LOL, I'm only pushing 40 next year. The past 18 years spent in the Army is keeping me youthful.

I'm gonna take that chip out tomorrow and see if there's a difference. Maybe post it on eBay and hope some gullible YOUNG ram owner buys it.

I hope you ordered 2. More is better.


Recently I routed my exhaust into my intake sort of like a turbocharger. The more I rev the more air gets forced into the throttle body. I am trying to figure out why this idea hasn't caught on yet...

I will drop it off next time I'm in PA. Being in the Army and a PA Dutchman, I was stationed in the New Cumberland Army Depot years ago....right across the river.
