I've had five thermostats fail here in the Philippines the last year, now I know why.... lol

Actually, I have. The local mechanic told me when I put the first one in that "no one uses thermostats, they always break". Had three fail within a few weeks of installing them. Finally got one that lasted a couple of months and thought I had fixed it. Wife called me about a month later and said the engine over heated and broke the head. She had it fixed, of course without the thremostat and when I arrived I installed another stat and it also failed. Bad juju, don't need no stink'n stat anyway.

I have to run 91 or higher since I installed by JET module. Runs a lot better with the higher octane.

My truck is custom tuned for 93 and runs like a champ. Come sit in mine and feel the power and you will drool.

Owner reviews at the largest Performance Chip site I know of:

Ordering Process: 3/5

Shipping Speed: 3/5

Customer Service: 2/5

Return Policy: 1/5

Average HP and Torque Gain: 2/5 (Each Vehicle we tested gained 3-12 horsepower)

Average MPG Gain: 2/5 (Every Vehicle Tested gained 1-2 MPG)

Cost of product: $337.49




At a 2 out of 5 possible rating in both HP/Torque and MPG gains it's mediocre at best and for it's retail price everything else I've seen in the same price range outperforms it...

Nobody I personally know that has done mods uses this chip and I know a LOT of people in the Mopar performance shop circles and a lot of guys who mod Dodge/Chrysler vehicles..

If you have the ability to read you basically can use a Superchips (or Diablo) programmer...

This sounds like all the good **** we get the booters with in the service, i.e., bucket of steam, get some length of shoreline, asking for the captain's crank to lower the mast...
