Thats about 10 cents worth of resisters inside a fancy case. Advance the timing and you will acomplish the exact same thing.

Our computers are pretty simple, you can't get more power that way.

Buddy of mine put something similar on his 95 Jetta and we, literally, watched his fuel gauge go down as we drove. Most of the time, those just fool your computer into adding more fuel and then compensating with more air... WALK AWAY!

The programmer in my Dodge cost $950, you really think that $30 chip is going to work?

00-06 Tundras=Oversized T100. Weak frame, weak suspension, small diff, etc etc etc.

They didn't have the capacity to do much of anything. Not to mention a 4.7L V8. And NO diesel option. The new Tundras are boring just like all the new trucks, and STILL don't have a Diesel option. Not like toyota hasn't been building them for 40 years

i just saw another thread with one of your posts about your dodge being a 99, i was thinking it was a bit newer then that.
but your right about the old tundras.
i was speaking of the 07+.

Its a 99. For all the searching I did to find the right one, it worked out to be the perfect combination of options. It has the Quad cab, with the long bed, and the 24 valve cummins. That combo was only 98.5-2002. Another big thing was finding one built in the USA instead of Mexico (RARE!) which mine was.

I do NOT like the 2003+ body style. Yuck. Talk about a step backwards for dodge. They got the interior of my truck right, everything looks nice and flows super well. The only complaint I have is all the plastic, but beggars can
t be choosers.

?!?!?!

I thought i was pretty clear that it was lol.

24valve Cummins my friend. Chipped, with intake and exhaust upgrades. Subtle, yet helps out tenfold.

BTW, Edge Juice w/ Attitude best programmer IMHO. Spendy, but oh so worth it. I can monitor 4 different vitals just on that. So between the HUD and my gauges, i know exactly whats going on everywhere in my engine and trans.

see i wasn't too sure if it was or wasn't.
I can show up my dad who just turned 59 about most things to do with toyota, And he sold em for 10 years.

But when it comes to alot of other cars i dont really study them like i do yotas.
But i do know and respect everything your truck is.
I do live in texas and get knocked everyday for driving a yota cause all these rednecks like domestics.

And i can visualize your truck, prolly sounds hella redic.
Any pics if you dont mind ?

The only thing I have added is a color match fiberglass canopy.
