You can't use the Microtuner with a chip. It reprograms the ECM itself... a chip would just override the tune in the ECM.

Yes, you'll see a big increase in boost. Most people pick up at least a couple of miles per gallon.

If you got it from www.MotorHaven.com, one of this site's sponsors you could have gotten it for less with free UPS Red (overnight) shipping.

I looked at MotorHaven but it was $399. I don't mind waiting for a couple of days to save $34

What is Motorhaven's current price on the 1705 shipped for FTE members? What is your guarantee and return policy? I have had nothing but bad luck with a Predator and their lack of customer support.

The price on MotorHaven is $399 but there is an instant $40 rebate and you still get overnight shipping. Put coupon code 1000 at checkout. So basically, $359 with overnight plus 30 day money back guarantee.

I have a 2001 psd w/bd power 60hp chip & a trans. pressure lock to increase trans. line pressure. I know that I need to pull out the chip, but what about the trans. pressure lock. I have the scmt installed right now on the 110hp setting. Like driving a lifted corvette on 35's!

I haven't heard back from Ken yet so I decided to unhook the pressure lock. Turns out that after I did, my overdrive light kept flashing. I put the truck back to stock & it went away. Then I reloaded the 110hp & it was again flashing. When I hooked the pressure lock back up, it quit flashing. What gives? Btw, the overdrive button still functions, but you can't tell visually which gear you are in. Any help?

I'm sorry, but I wasn't working on the forums this weekend. We all like to have time off. Unfortunately, this is just the way the SCMT works with some PCM codes. Nothing that can be done other then them changing the way it functions in some future version. Sorry.
