Id alos be interested in knowing what exactly these chips do ... I mean to they interrupt the signal from the sensors or what?


Thanks for giving us a little insight on your cheap diesel chips!

 

Hopefully someone is still looking at this old forum. I recently bought a couple items from cheapdieselchips.com. Their "power mod", exhaust brake (uses the factory cold start butterfly), and what they called a Timing Advance Module (TAM). I installed the brake and the system that plugs into the fuel rail. Got an inital email with some instructions on the first two systems, but not on the TAM. They advertise that the "TAM" can stack with the power mod, but it came with no instructions and the plugs don't seem to match up to anything on my 99' 7.3L. Been trying to reach the guy by email for a week, but no answer or anyway to get a hold of him. Only lists an email on the website as well. Both things I installed work pretty well; i.e. more power and about a 2mpg increase so far. Any one know how to reach him or install the "TAM"?

 

I'm also curious

 

I sent the guy kind of a heated message this morning, so I may never get a response. I may just end up out the money for the module.

The guy replied to me finally and took care of my issues. Turns out he was out sick for a week. I feel bad cause I made a few references about his mascot. Got the Timing advance module installed and will see how performance improves. been getting 1.5-2mpg gains from the power module from them. Just been leaving it on setting 3 while towing pretty heavy loads. I've put on about 900 miles with the power mod. also built my own cold air intake, works great and only costs the prices of the K&N filter. $42

 

after the Timing advance module, power mod. and intake I have ended up at 17.5mpg from 12 mpg, still need to go to a 4 or 5inch exhaust and probably will get better.
