Fuel/power Chip Does It Really Work?

Fuel /power Chip ,seen Them On Ebay, Do They Really Work ? Anyone Try It? I Did And Fuel Mileage Actually Went Down. A Simple Resister On Your Air Temp Sensor Is Suposed To Help With Power And Fuel Mileage.tried To Contact Company And They Won't Return Emails. Sounds Like A Scam ? Only Paid 10.00 For It. Thank God No More. They Say Its Guaranteed Or Your Money Back.but If Thats True Why Won't They Return Emails.

Chock it up to experience........if it REALLY worked, it would've cost a lot more then $10 bucks. The old saying "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is" applies here.....

Welcome to FTE Nick. Next time you get a wild hair to buy something like that come on here and ask. These guys know alot about these trucks. Like said, you are lucky to only be out 10.00, could be worst.

If it's the same Ebay ad I'm thinking of, they will refund your money only if you leave positive feedback. It's their way of bribing people to making the product sound better than it actually is.

You could also contact Ebay about it and start a dispute.
