Well I finally got the chip in and installed (which was interesting) and I can say that this thing really works. Took about twenty minutes of driving around for the fan clutch to loosen up and for me to feel the difference. Now by truck weighs 5700lbs so there is not a whole lot of differnce but I have noticed:
1. Tighter throttle response, you punch it and it goes, doesn't lag anymore.

2. Slightly better acceleration at low RPM, nothing earth shattering just a little better.

3. Much better acceleration at high rpm and high speed, the truck now jerks my head back in fourth around 65-80mph. A real noticable difference at high RPM.

4. I don't have any fuel milage yet, probably won't for 3-4 weeks. But so far I'm happy.

I do have to say the service was excellent from Ken and Danny (and Fed-ex), installation took about 2.5-3 hours, part of which was me wasting time.

I would also like to say that the "Superchip lip" is not a big issue, if you put on one or two pieces of duct tape you'll never have a problem. The computer in in a secure place and the Superchip isn't that heavy so unless you ford rivers, the "lip" isn't an issue. Getting the computer back in after putting the chip on caused headaches but it finally went. Overall I happy with the product. (Maybe I'll change my tune after I fill up both tanks

Daywalker: Remember, we guarantee the same mileage, "IF YOU DRIVE THE SAME AFTER AS BEFORE INSTALLATION". Sounds like your having too much fun to worry about mileage. The best time to check mileage is about 2-3 months after installation, by then you have worn the newness off of the newfound power and are back to driving normally. I'm glad that you are happy with it, again, should you need anything, call us. We are more than happy to help.
Later

"D": Are you the manufacturer or a certain brand of chip? New to this forum and don't know any better.

If you are, what do you have for a 96 4.9L Inline 6?

Thanks!
