Chip engine damage?

Just bought 2000 7.3 f350. Its got 50,000 miles with aftermarket turbo and chip. The kid barely uses the chip occasionally and pulled twice in truck pulls. THe truck hasn't pulled anything more than a snowmobile trailer its whole life however. THis motor going to be reliable or does the chip damage it and lower its life span? I think the chip is hypertech

I have been running a tuner for over 150k, and with 239K on the truck now I don't think that the tuner has hurt my durability.

You are probably just fine... just have to watch that tranny a bit... Those are what take most of the abuse...


good luck,
Steven
