Thing on Ebay
I seen this on Ebay, I ordered one and have yet to put it in, what do ya'll think that it is. It is supposed to increase power by 8-10%, hmmm. I am new to this and I don't want to mess up my truck.

Have to agree I have seen those and they are just a resistor. They can warranty it because 90% of the people will not return them so the 10% that do they still got all that other money. It basically costs them nothing.

How can they say it won't hurt your truck then?
On the other hand, it says it won't hurt gas milage, when it almost has to because it's gonna make it run a little richer.
Would there be any way to keep it from burning up a cat?

It always baffles me when someone will try to save $100 at the expense of trashing their vehicle. The old saying about penny wise....
If you don't have the money to play with your vehicle: don't. If $100 is going to break the bank, what's going to happen if you can't pass emissions or the penny saving ends up costing you more because it needs to be repaired?
