He has used different brands of these chips. No internet connection was needed for that. Later he found all my new wiring to the trailer brakes had been crushed because the trailer was bottomed out on the springs. I think there's less complication with the chips for gas engines because all they can mess with are a few sensor voltages. Why do you want to go back to that? That finally loaded him down so much, 55 mph was the best he could do.
Yes, I have a lot of people fooled. The trailer split one wheel and broke all the lug nut studs for one pair of wheels, but the truck held up! The weight of the air is measured by that and used to calculate fuel metering. His latest project was turning a 2011 Dodge Mega Cab with a six foot box into an eight foot model by extending the frame two feet. With more air you'll get more fuel, and presumably more power. I get more air and more power by pressing the accelerator pedal further. We do not provide a warranty, but we are absolutely willing to help guide you through any issues that may arise after your purchase. We accept cash, personal checks, cashiers checks and credit cards we are charged a 3% fee to process them, so sorry, but that fee if passed on to our customer choosing to use a card.
We do not claim our vehicles are perfect, they are afterall, previously owned. . Most vehicles qualify for an aftermarket warranty that we can quote for you, should you want to minimize your risk of expense for potential mechanical repairs needed in the future. The increase in power is amazing, but on his first one he was pulling a three-car hauler and promptly tore up the transmission. It was actually real easy to do by just following the screen prompts, but the unit took about 15 minutes to do its thing. Your engine uses a mass air flow sensor. When you have the power, you search for any possible need to pass people when necessary! Fuel mileage did increase too but be aware that if you have a Traveler Computer that shows your fuel mileage, it will read a few miles per gallon higher than what you're really getting.
The chip on that one has a screen to view engine data, but just a few options you can select. The truck already has plenty of power for what I will use it for, but I am hoping you as an expert can help. I am not pulling or towing anything. Diesels are different because they're wide open to air all the time. Varying the mixture, reducing the fuel, actually , is how engine speed is controlled so they are expected to be very lean at times. My understanding is they used to trick the Engine Computer into thinking more fuel was needed, as in colder weather, and that provided more power.
It appears to be working but the truck isn't painted yet and hasn't been on the road yet. Be aware that raw fuel helps to cool the valve heads and running lean too long can result in burned valves. Did I mention it was a little overloaded? If you read the ads for the newer models, you should find they have different settings or selections for improved fuel economy too. My eyes glaze over when we start talking about four and five-gas analyzers related to emissions testing. His last project was a 2006 dually diesel with a six-speed transmission. With gas engines you need to maintain the proper mixture all the time.
The idea of cooling the air is to make it more dense so more can get packed into the cylinders. The chip he used has a small screen with touch buttons to select various options, and it has to have the software downloaded into it. It just goes out the tail pipe, wasted. You can learn what other people think of the chip you're considering. I had a ride years ago in a Viper.
This truck feels the same as far as acceleration. He recently pulled a grossly-overloaded 32' goose neck trailer from Texas to Wisconsin with an estimated 38,000 pound load. While running lean can increase fuel mileage, it results in incomplete combustion so emissions will go up. I have a friend with multiple Dodge trucks, all with chips, but those are all diesels. Your knowledge is a bit overwhelming to me as I am just a guy with little to no mechanical skills trying to figure out any way to effectively increase this trucks gas mileage without having to break the bank. He's waiting for the custom drive shaft to be finished. We can work to obtain financing for you, or you can arrange your own.
For example, we can get things done through our vendors at our discounted cost, to save you money. That was done for better mileage. . . . . .
