| Phoenix Switch-On-The-Fly Chip (DISCOUNTINUED) (Disabled) Power Hungry no longer sells the Phoenix/TS chip, but if you need custom tuning we can recommend a few really good tuners that will be able to still provide tuning and support for your chip. If you have any other questions or comments about the Phoenix/TS chip, please post it here. |

Newbie Questions
I'm currently considering the purchase of the a chip however, concerned about the long-term effects to the motor and drive train. I have a 99 7.3 PSD with 165K. It is completely stock. I'm interested in the chip for better shifting, acceleration, and fuel economy. I'm currently getting between 16 & 18 MPG. I tow a 18ft fishing boat regularly but interested in purchasing a travel trailer. I'm interested in anyone's suggestions or input. Thanks.

Put it on!!! I had 340,000 on mine when I did it with no problems, I saw no improvement in mileage but i sure enjoy driving it more so don't expect it and be pleasantly surprised if it does improve. Even 25 hp is a noticeable difference so if your worried about it don't get the high hp tunes and be smart about how you drive it.

Tunes
I just went with stock, 1200 high idle, 65DD, 80perf, 65tow and 25heavy tow. Since my truck was a OBS I knew I wouldn't be able to utilize the 80 hp tune but I had dreams of bigger injectors and needed to fill the slots anyway. I never even use it cuz I don't like the way it shifts in 80. Its usually in 65DD or 25heavy tow. Yes the shifting is noticeably better.

It is highly recommended to put on gauges. I think it is even a good thing to have them even if you do not had a chip. Good way of diagnosing problems.
Another gauge you might want to look into is a fuel pressure gauge. GL!
