tuner chip

Is it safe to put a chip on my truck 1996 f350 with 252000 miles on it. I have had people tell me not to build it up because of the miles on it.

Do it to it! but you need to do intake, exhuast, gauges then you can add more fuel. at the very least you need to do the napa 6637 filter (or a full on tymar) down pipe and gut the cat (if not full exhuast) a pyrometer (plus boost and tranny temp is you have an auto) then you can add fuel. the stuff in the () are if you have the cash to make them happen.

yup. my stepdad told me not to fix mine up since it has 245,000 miles on it, but i have to tell you, powerstroke mod syndrome got to me quickly and the more i tried to fight it then the more things i wanted to do to the truck. i couldn't resist it. so you might as well just go ahead and fix 'er up cause, being that it is a powerstroke, it can handle it.
