any "chip" thats only $30 will make a good paperweight...thats about it. Do it right and just get either an SCT tuner tuned by either Troyer or VMP or a Gryphon tuned by PHP.

Do not buy one of hem cheap ebay chips that guarantee 30mpg and 100 horsepower, they're just cheap faulty pieces that rob your wallet at time of purchase, and much further down the road when your PCM fries and needs replaced.

Precisely. Your PCM you dont wanna f with the wrong way. Custom tuning is the best proceedure to getting more power out of the truck electrically.
