Benny,
Welcome to FTE and the 4.2 forum! Glad you found us.
I split your post from the sticky thread on "Power". That thread is just for specific input on advice/opinions/suggestions for ways to improve power.
Several of the guys here have installed chips and I'm sure will be glad to offer their input. I have not opted for a chip but here is what I beleiev;
It will not void warranty.
It is fairly easy to install.
Check thru the threads here and you find more info. As a matter of fact, Motorhaven has a sale on the Diablo chip. See the Announcement at the top of the post column.
There is also a forum just for computers, chips, etc.
Again, glad to have you here at FTE and in the 4.2 forum.

Thank you, thank you very much.
I try to keep things interesting here. Everyone here is very respectable. I am available any...oops, sorry Brian. Didn't mean to take your thunder and impersonate a moderator.
I had the taste of the dark side and it felt great. I'll go and make a smoothie and I'll be better.
Brian, I am your father!!

No, the Diablo will not void your warrantee.
Yes, you will get great gains from it.
Basically, the Diablo chip can be installed by a novice in a couple of hours. Why a couple of hours? Because you have to clean the contacts on the computer in your truck. The actual installation process can be done in a matter of minutes. If I times myself I could uninstall my chip, gloat at it's awesomeness, and intall it back in in about 10 - 15 minutes easily. All you really need to do is take it slow.

I just got a 98 F150 regular cab. was was wondering the same thing. These chips are easy to install? I"m not great with motor and working on trucks and i was looking to get a chip. I heard about a chip that can either increase gas milege or give you more power just by hitting a button, is this true? where can you get these chips and how much?
