Power chips on E-bay??
I was on ebay last night and came across these power chips. They claim to get anywhere from 5 to 10 mpg more and 75 to 100 more HP. Anybody ever used them or even heard of them? Heres a link to one of them. Theres several different ones on there.

I'm pretty sure anything that attaches to the "data system" via cheaters has got to be a quality product. It cost me $1200 to get 4mpg better so I guess for $34.95 how can you beat it.
Buy no means, please do not think I am busting on you. I'm just saying buyer beware. I personally would stay away from it.

snake oil.
it is a $35 resister you put in line with the air intake temp sensor to fool the computer into thinking the temperature is different than what it actually is.
no way in hell 50 hp gain. maybe 5 hp.

My fuel mileage was down to 12mpg so I ripped out the intake, exhaust and went with AFE stage II intake and 4" exhaust with 4" downpipe and chipped it with a diablo predator and added gauges to watch it all. I have since switched to a DP Tuner and like it even better. Truck went back to 16-18 MPG with the mods.
