    Negative, excessive EGTs and head pressures, sounds like a burned plug or too as well. Obviously too lean, need to up the milk enrichment under load or add ethanol injection.

    Yep, good catch!
    Not my favorite flavor though. I prefer jalapeño cheddar or dill pickle.

    Mr. William. one must have a thick skin to navigate the internets. All in good humor.

    Times have changed, no longer do you "chip" a vehicle, now it is all about "tuning".

    To answer your inquiry there are various companies and individuals who "tune" the modern Tacoma.

    The preferred company on this forum is KDMax: https://kdmaxprotuning.com/

    There are other companies, hopefully you have been provided enough information to continue your search.

    they are teasing you, at your expense. sorry for that. with that said, they are rudely telling you what you know already know. the "chips" of the old days, are now just snake oil in the modern automobile. your best bet is to research reputable tuners with OV Tuning hardware and software, and augment your auto that way, via the ECU Flash. I am tuned with KDMax tuning group, and very happy with their product. to get better feedback, than in this main forum, go look in the forum index for the performance and tuning section. all your info is there, with people that are ready to help. good luck to you.

    I always loved how durable those CHP uniforms were ....... Ponch could wipe out @ 90 mph, slide 1320 feet then get up and "brush a little dirt from his uniform. His hair is still perfect too as he tries to get a date with the bimbo that caused a 201 car pile up. :rofl:

    all tore up already
    Just pick whatever ebay special fits the budget and has the biggest +250hp +39mpg. Chips were a thing before 9nboard computers. Look at the 4d fuel mapping as just one of many charts your stock ecm uses for power calculations and you may begin to understand why adding a resistor inline isnt going to do a thing other than jack up your engine harness

    What were they supposed to do? It’s not even a relevant question. Maybe more helpful would be for you to check the tune sub forum, there’s an entire section dedicated to the endless discussion.

    maybe consider looking into why an entire group of individuals are diverting the specific subject you're asking about to something entirely different.

    chips are a waste of money. it's a resistor installed on the MAF that tricks the MAF into thinking there's more air entering than there is. by consequence, this dumps more fuel into the motor, but also tends to wreck your cats, and cause decreased mpg. this was the 2000's version of 'flipping the air filter top' of the 60's-80's. cars are now smarter than those tricks that worked on carbureted motors and the basic obd1 systems from before.

    with new computers, comes new tuning options.

    Read the post above mine.

    With that said I've heard that Bullydog is working on a handheld programer to add different tunes and to make adjustments for tires sizes and such. Stay away from any piggyback chips, it's snake oil.

    @BossRiver9 Get the truck tuned instead of buying a chip. I have the KDMax tune and it’s the best thing I’ve done to my truck and I’ve done a lot of things to my truck.

    As for the rest of the discussion in this thread, I was putting down some leftovers last night and paired original flavor pringles with French onion dip.
