Diablo Chip
Ok, Getting a Diablo Chip in my '01 Supercab this afternoon.....Kinda wondering what to expect, not sure if I am getting the 3 position one or the basic chip.....I guess I am more nervous than anything, the only mod's to my truck are Tires, up to 285's from 265's, and the drop in K&N......

Taking the chip out is no big deal. You just reach under the dash and unplug it. HOWEVER, putting it in the first is about a 2 hour project. Pull the PCM, take it apart, scrape the contacts . . .
As for me, I tried two different diablo's and they just didn't "take". No difference in pep or shifting.
Good luck to you!

got it in and man what a difference, pick up after 1st gear is outrageous.....shifting is much tighter, hopefully gas mileage will pick up too.... Had to edit, i am too leary about this thing, will it cause any damage to the engine...seems like a hassle just to take it in for service, removal and all....might take it back will have to see what the accsessory dealer says.....
