New Hydra install in early '99
 
Well I installed the Hydra chip in my early 99 on the weekend. Wow, the truck is lots of fun now, huge power increase, and it looks like a great fuel economy improvement, I have only driven about 150 miles and so I will have to post back later after more data is collected. If it is even close to the numbers I am getting from the lie o meter, the chip will have paid for itself in a few months. I should have bought a chip years ago!

A couple comments, could you produce a green display version? I am considering opening mine up and swapping out the displays but if you will sell one it would be easier. Red lights in my truck I usually associate with bad things!

Your actual mileage figures will be nowhere near what the overhead display says. Just a heads-up.

That's actually a great idea. Obviously my dash is stock green, my gauges are green, and I have green LEDs in my map lights. A green display on the Hydra would make it look like it belongs.

I mentioned I had a couple issues

1.). Green light for the indicator
2.). Shift is sometimes very hard from first to second on the daily driver 80. It might be my xle4 I have heard the pmt1 does a much better job. Anyone have one for sale?
3.). I cannot get the hydra software to print my list of tunes. I took some screenshots so I have a list but it would be nice to have it printed

4.). Could you have a configuration on the hex codes so I don't have to look at all the not applicable hex codes? The software could just filter it out.

Thanks
