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.

timekop how do you like the JET module? What benefits did you see from it? Better acceraltion and throttle response? MPG's? HP?

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...
