Re: [RC] right vehicle for towing - Truman PrevattFaustina Duffy wrote:Got to be careful with the chips especially if towing. The chips tend to change the mixture to get more power and hence increase the exhaust gas temperature. That can do all sorts of damage to the engine. I saw a guy who was bragging about his Ford Powerstroke with the new chip. He was showing me "under the hood." When I pointed to his warped turbo housing - he just about fell over. He was pulling a decent load - not that big really - but the chip had resulted in an unacceptable high EGT. A high EGT can turn a turbo into toast. Truman Not as cheap as a Greasel for those who can get oil <wink!>, but since the supply of that is all spoken for down here, this works pretty nice! -- "The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all." H. L.
