I posted early about helping my buddy Clint put in a Jet chip  in his 2001 HD...Anyways we were riding in his truck yesterday on the expressway...He dropped the pedal and the motor revved out and then what sounded like detonation,  :angry: , was followed by the tranny deciding that 4 was to high of a gear and dropped to at least 2nd if not 1st I swear we broke traction at 60mph or so...anyways I'm just giving you guys a heads up on the Jet Performance Chips...I told him it's time to get a Superchip..... :thumb:

I had the Jet power module in my 97 Tahoe.  The first one they sent me had the SES light on right from the start no matter how many times I reset the PCM.  So I called their customer service, no questions were asked, the next day a new module had arrived (and they took the old one) and that evening I had the second one in.

 

5 years and 53,000 miles later, it performed flawlessly.  I took it out when I returned it to stock it when I turned it in this past July and you could notice the difference right away going back to stock.  It was considerably tamer.

Similar thing happened to my brother with his 97 Ram. He puked out 3 Jet chips in less then a year before he finally wised up enough to realize that he was never going to get one that worked the way it should. That's one of the prime reasons I'm leaning towards Superchips myself...

That's what I'm saying I told him that superchips are the way to go..I've had no problem yet.. :thumb:

Had a Jet chip in a 95 burb.  No problems at all and it made that thing run super-sweet.  Just my $.02

I have one also.  It worked ok at first, a little off the line studdering, and around 40 mph in 4th gear, but I got some work done on it, and not it runs even better.  Definetly a difference...

Hey BDBWTE,

 

Are you the guy who said he was using a C clamp to try to get the cover back on the PCM box? That might have something to do with the problem! :puke:

Hey I say shadetree mechanic work and repairs are the way to go. I do most of my work myself, with the exception of the high-performance diesel work.  If it's cheap and it works, why go to a dealer to get raped on the price?

I resemble that remark.... :puke:

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
