Chips and tranny
Saw man, Welcome to the site. Danny will probably be along soon to answer your question, which I might add is a darn good one as I was wondering the same thing.

SawMan: Check out the thread just below this one titled Warranty with the chip??? As for the tranny. The chip raises the transmission fluid pressure 20%. This creates firmer shifts and less slippage. Less slippage=less friction=less heat=longer tranny life.
Thanks

D, Thanks for the input on the auto. The PSD puts out 520 ft# of torque (I think), and the tranny accepts 550 ft# of torque (I think). I can see where the extra 20 percent pressure would be good, but with the extra 100 ft# of torque theres a lot of extra twist on the internal parts of the tranny. Thanks.

The specs on the 2000 PSD is 235hp and 500 ft/lb torque. The 2001 is 250hp and 515 ft/lb torque. The highest mileage with a chip that I know of is a gentleman in Oakdale, Louisiana, Steve Head, he owns Head Ford in Oakdale. He owns a plant nursery also. His 1999 F-350, crew cab, dually had 19 miles on it when I chipped it. He traded it in at 396,000 miles. This truck was used exclusively to pull a 38 foot triple axle flatbed loaded with plants and dirt. He claims no mechanicla breakdowns. Prety impressive record. He has since chipped every vehicle that he owns.
Thanks
