eh, I wouldn't trust them. If something goes wrong then you're up a creek without a paddle because it may void your warranty. And since they're cheapies they're more prone to fail. Also one where the diagram has Insulation spelled "inulation" might not be a my first choice :P

i wouldnt go with any kind of chip...if you want big gains, do other mods and then have a dyno tune done...otherwise, just do the reg stuff....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH.

Wow. According to their 'diagram' (and that's a generous word for it) you're buying a piece of coax cable (TV cable). But its PVC coated! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Mebbe your truck will get HBO if you buy the 'chip'.

Oh wow. God I didn't even realise people were selling this kind of stuff.

Nevermind that they can't spell and are advertising 40HP gains in the auction but even the package has 25-35 printed on it. God, I think I peed myself.

Anyway, if you want a chip solution do a search on this forum. There are stage I and stage II chips, but in order to get any kind of use out of them you'll need to do some intake and exhaust work first which is where you should start anyway for the most noticeable difference.

Well Jimbo, did the auction say ANYTHING about a faulty key? If not, you know you can claim it on eBay as a misleading ad!! ;-)

Get your money back, AND keep the key.
