you dont take out your computer chip, you simply unplug the white wire harness and snap the chip into place and plug wire harness back. and did you reset the computer?. remove neg battery cable. for 20 min. reinstall neg cable, start and stop truck 3 times. on the third time leave truck running for 5 mins. so it will learn the new curve. then take it for a run.

All depends on how you drive...
Same with pretty much any aftermarket performance product that makes the engine work less to produce the same power... if you push it to get the sound or power from it, MPGs drop a lot....if you ride it nicely, MPGs should raise...

I havent really seen a gain in MPG, but I have been driving a little harder to test the truck to see any gains. so I guess if I get off the pedal a bit I would. Since it hasnt dropped, and I have been driving harder, maybe it will go up if I lay off the gas.
As for the intake question, if you check the "Gas Prices" thread, you will find a great write up on the last page or 2. I saw a gain, but read the write up...
sigs are easy guys... check the size of a sig that you like, and go to paint and make one that size. then find a image hosting site and post it... embed the image in your sig and off you go...

RE: Jet Chip stage 1
so, eric, are you trying not driving like a little old lady for awhile, so you can see how that effects your mpgs? i'm interested to hear your results.
it's something i play with, but i'm never able to do it consistantly. depending on how late i am in the mornings, i have to drive harder to make up time and i'm never able to go a whole tank without being really late at least one morning (i'm always at least 10 minutes late, but i hate going any later than that). because of that, my mpgs vary pretty good between 16-18 mpg depending on how hard i have to drive to get to work.
as for the sig, i'd love to create one (i'm a web designer, so i have the skill) but i need time and a clean truck to take pictures of. perhaps this weekend i'll get it washed and snap a few shots.

yeah, I am actually trying to get some more accurate readings with the g-tech. I did my exhaust yesterday. so I guess I should see what the truck gets now as far as HP/TQ... aside from my initial install of the chip, I drove like normal. (old lady) So I expect to see much less in the MPG range these next couple weeks...
I will post my findings up in the gas mileage thread...
