Saw this in e-bay. Will it do anything for my truck? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...7952504679&rd=1

From the lack of responses I am guess no.

I've never heard of it but it would be worth it if it really worked.Anyone ever heard of it?

$9.00 for 20hp. If it worked erverybody would own it. Run Run Run away, or just send me the money.

Well we do not know what kind of truck you have, second, do a google search for the brand and check the web site out for more details. If it is not designed for you vehicle, I would not try to splice it in.

I would not trust its claims, a unit like that could do more harm than good, stick with the more well known programers, just my opinion.

Goodness gracious, guys. It is the IAT modification using a $0.25 resistor. Very old modification, fools the computer into thinking the sampled intake air is about 55 degrees, even in summer time. The theory is that the computer will richen things up a bit to improve performance.

Cons are that it throws the sampling table for the computer off. RUN AWAY as the other post sez. And if y'all really want to do this, I'll build you a kit for $10.00. Ah heck. Forget that. Do this instead:

1) 3.3 K resistor (or is it 33k?)

2) 2 butt-splice connectors

3) Locate IAT and MAF connector by the air box

4) Snip the brown and black (I think) wires going to the IAT. Connect the $0.25 resistor to the IAT feed wires using the butt-splice connectors. Be sure to leave enough extra wire so you can hook the wires back when the EPA boys are doing the annual EPA inspection on your truck. Get nice bright red tie-wraps to neaten things up and so everyone can see what you did. Bright red tie-wraps automatically give you about 2 extra horsies.

Enjoy the RUSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH of the high power and awesome gas mileage improvement. Be sure to confirm this modification by sticking a SS decal on the truck and a Hi-Po IAT decal. That'll do it.

LOL This seems to come around about once every couple of months doesn't it!!!!

It will richen up your mixture a little, but lean mixtures produce more power, not richer!!!

Larry,

Do you have a picture or diagram of this you can share? I just want to make sure I get the right wires. Also you say you need a 3.3 resistor but you cut two wires? Why would you cut two wires with only one resitor, or do you use two resitors? Or am I way off base here?

I'm still using the Four headlight 12 volt diode that you suggested.

Do you notice in the mornings (cold) that it will stay on for a few second delay? just until it's warm. It's like it just needs to warm up or something.

thanks in advance, KJ505Silverado: New Mexico
