[QUOTE="wizzo, post: 202997, member: 125"] Just to clear up a lil misinformation, yes we make bullydogs (along with some others) flip chips but they have their own programming that they use and burn on to the chips. it's also not possible to "miss program a chip" and cause the damage you are talking about. once a chip is burned it either works or it doesn't, meaning if the truck starts and runs, the program is there. if the information didn't get burned onto the chip, the truck will not start. A standard chip burner does not have the option to choose different parts of a tune, most chip burners are using tunes that are already done and just transferring the file to the chip. There are just a few custom tuners that have the capabilities to change the files (I’m only talking about tuners using our 7.3 flip chips) the 7.3 computer and chip technology is not as advanced as the newer trucks, that’s why they 7.3's usually respond best to the flip chips rather than a downloader. Also you can use the ts chips with out any other modifications to a truck and it will work properly. Adding a chip doesn't mean shorter life span to an engine, if used properly. Yes, you can run high horsepower tunes that will be hard on parts but if you use a little sense, keep up with your maintenance, your truck will last. I’ve personally dealt with hot shot drivers using our product with 300k - 500k on their engines, trust me, the truck is falling apart around the drive train at that point. Like anything else out there everyone has their own opinion but I just thought I’d throw in my .02 sense on what I’ve seen in my 7 years of diesel performance. [/QUOTE]
