Default An offer I can't refuse?

I got offered a Blue Chip Diesel "FMS" box for a 98.5-00 CTD...$400 is what he's askin'...'sposed to all be there and ready to hook up...2 questions (1) is that a decent price (2) do I have to worry about software...ie...locked vin or upgrades....?

Another thought...if I bought it and it is as advertised would anyone be willing to save my life? (take it off my hands if the wife threatens death)"y"

I think $400 is a hell of a deal. Dont they normally sell for around $1000? or am I wrong.

Make SURE your fuel system is bombed - or you WILL be replacing your VP-44. And your wife will NOT like that...


I see now that you have the walbro system. You should be ok.

That seems like a pretty sweet deal to me to. You should jump on it then you could outrun the wife in your truck
