I bought my truck about 2 months ago- my wife still can't figure out for the life of her why I had to spend $300 on gauges, $450 on exhaust, buy a new air intake (6637 with Pete's cover), poke around under the hood unplugging/disconnecting things, and whine about "needing" a $450 chip for a truck "that runs just fine the way it is. Why don't you just leave it alone?" Silly woman, she doesn't get it
In her defense though, I'm really kicking myself in the rear for the 4" duals I bought... what a pain. PMS is a real threat... I had it before I even owned a PSD!

No its still not in, I haven't had time to mess with it for a while. I want to get my spare tire winch fixed or replaced before I do much more so I can be sure the driver's side pipe will squeeze between the spare and the shock.

I love being single!!! And my girlfriend knows that I'll spend my money how I want to - I earn it how I want, I spend it how I want - she's the same way too, and it works just fine

Shhhhhhh..... What you mean, is that you love your girlfriend, and that she means more to you than your truck.
Come on, say it with me, and try to make it sound believable so she leaves the room so you can finish ordering a meth injection kit and hybrid injectors....

Bad news!!!!! So far it was a flop. Put the chip in. All excited, I took it for a spin around the block (country block). The grin was growing. Then......... Sputter sputter. Dead. Had to get a tow home. Took the chip out and it started right up like nothing happened. Tried again, this time stayed in the shop and it died. Called Jody, he suspects a currupt temp reading, and is sending a new chip out. So... Still Waiting!!!!!!!

He will make it good and you will be happy. I just returned from my first "test run". 500 miles, towing my boat on the interstate at about 70-80mph. All I can say is wow. Can't wait to hook up the camper and give it a try. The real fun was the few time I unhooked the trailer and could play. I did pull my empty trailer out once in the 120 setting and about 1/2 up the ramp, got on it a little, You talk about some smoke and wheel spinning. Wasn't long the Park ranger and two deputies were walking my way. I thought I was toast. The big deputy got there first and all he said was " what the hell you got in that thing. Thirty minutes later, a couple of engine revs and my card with Jody's website written on the back, they left and I was smiling. Had two duramax owners inquire about it as well. So Jody, you may be getting some calls from the Georgia Police and Park rangers soon.
Have a nice Beer!!!

I did multiple tests here the other day. Sat., was a rain out for the NHRDA here in Seattle, so I towed my boat home. Loved it, very nice to tow with. Sun. was a great day to race. Well, I cranked it to the 140E tune and Wow. What a day. 15.76 was my best time, good enough for now.
