I am looking to put a tuner/chip in my truck. I have been looking on EBay and there are performance chips for around $40 and tuners from $350+. Do these $40 dollar chips actually work or are they just crap? Thanks.

You usually get what you pay for. What are the names of the chips? You also get no warranty off of EBay... Yeah $40 no big deal, but if you are dropping $400 different story...

The ones on ebay claim to have resistors that modify the fuel air mixture in the ECM. I didn't think they would be any good but I wanted to hear other opinions on it. Thanks.

tunes are a risky business ....

best to go with a name brand because they will be there with support.
