Performance Chip On A 97 Mountaineer?

[97Mounty97]

It's just hyped up eBay resistor junk.

Below is pry what you will see inside... a 5¢ Radio Shack resistor...

Are you sure this is the same for the ACD PowerBOX Chip? It's not from eBay it's from autochipsdirect.com because I found an article about the eBay ones being junk but I'm still not sure about the one from this site. I talked to there customer support and I'll upload some pictures of the conversation tonight

Unsure on which unit that is. I could not figure out from the posting found online somewhere else.

Read the response in this link: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120403190004AAXEIx6

I'll laugh if a response you receive from them is exactly the same.

Thanks for sharing that link! But most of those are about a different company, only one was for autochipsdirect and that's the only bad review I can find on it...if you have more please share lol

Seriously, if anyone here could buy a $70 "module" that increases 30+ HP and a 4 MPG gain, wouldn't every 5.0 owner have one? The mileage increase would recoup the $69.99 quickly. Must be a reason many have bought flashers such as the $379 SCT from reputable tuners that gives less than half the claimed gains of the "Powerbox". If it sounds too good
to be true.....

I forgot to screen shot the part where I asked about the return policy so I emailed them and asked I'll upload a pic in a few of that

Here's the return policy for the ACD PowerBOX

Seems you are making every attempt to convince yourself, regardless of advice given here. Read this first, your call. GL
