Banks Power Chips
I just got off the phone with a guy from Banks. HE said to expect products to start coming out middle of next year.
I asked him why their so late compared to the other companies. He said that they are so slow at coming out with things for the 2008s, because they are testing the truck for many(I think he said 70,000) miles to see if the chips... will give a power gain but not damage the trucks, unlike others who whiped up a huge power gain months after the 2008s came out, without doing any major testing.

I may accept the price and the small power gaines if in fact they increase fuel mileage and keep the factory warrenty in tact which most of the others do not.

Not that I'm bashing Banks, I have their exhaust right now and have had some of their other products in the past. It is good stuff but it is pricey for what you get.
I have seen the dealer putting all kinds of crap on vehicles, that does not mean it is good to me.

Viagra was orginally discovered in 1991 by accident but wasn't released to the public until 1998. 7 years later.
