Chips aren’t a thing since the mid 90s.

You have to hunt down a tuner and…I guess they are still out there to be had for these trucks.

several reputable tuners available, VMP, fivestar, Woodbine motor sports, etc and they all use SCT devices

e-fans are whatever you slap together - I suggest a soft start controller


since “performance chip” ain’t an option for that (unless you want something useless) SCT Device of your choice from a reputable tuner

5star here, nice difference. I use the x4. They will probably have a sale next month.

Efan setup not really worth hassle. Your fan is plastic (low mass) and with an operating clutch, you gain 6-7rw with it unlocked versus removed from what I saw on a dyno.

Pair the tune with a high flow muffler (stock flows like crap) and open up the air intake some.
