    Ummmm.....those things do NOTHING at all! Hence why you see NO ONE using them. If they where so "AWSOME" then why didn't toyota put them in there trucks in the first place? I'm telling you right now....I have an AAS degree in automotive, I am a drivo tech at a dealership, and I have built MANY high PO cars in my time....they do nothing. So please, go ahead and waste your money. :)

    Glad I infused the power of thought, here. However, it would be much more economical to put 3 pygmy cows in the back with a shell fitted with a device that captures the methane, converts it to useable fuel, and then feeds it into the gas tank. Jeez, it's so simple... Moooo

    I'm getting roughly 17 -19 in mine with lots of open highway driving. I would find it hard to believe or just impossible to gain 10mpg out of a chip. A turbo kit maybe but the sunk cost would be so high the savings would just not exist.

    Push the ECT button basically all you’re going to get out of a chip
