certainly, makes all the difference in the world. my powerstroke was ok stock,
but chipping it turned it into a real beast. it amazes me to see these huge
trucks cranking out so much power with such little modification. take a look
at this f350 diesel crew cab running the quarter mile in 11.42@118mph
http://tinyurl.com/4gc79
my cummins is pushing 600ft. lbs stock, the powerstroke is around 800 with the
chip and im getting ready to swap out the turbo and retrofit a '99 intercooler.
looked at a chip today that takes the cummins to 950ft. lbs with nothing more
than the chip. i doubt i do that though, i just dont have any need for that
kind of power and question how long the rest of the drivetrain would stand up
to it.

i feel your pain. i feel bad about what i took for the XJ, but getting the
cummins for almost $12,000 below sticker (employee discount based on
greensheet price) made it much easier to swallow.
>the F350 Power Stroke is THE TICKET for towing.
i suppose.....if 560ft. lbs is enough for you. ;-)

.....id be ashamed to admit to it publicly. ;-) i wouldnt have done it were it
not for the long list of problems we had with it over the last couple of years.
we couldnt keep a pinion seal in it (either end) for some reason and stopped
trying. the transfer case was replaced (complete swap), the torque converter
was replaced, reverse went out, electrical system crashed, and a long list of
other pesky troubles. i rarely hear of xj troubles but we got the lemon. the
wifey was fond of her xj and tried to hang on to it but now that im the one
with the "practical vehicle" (room for all the kids) shes looking forward to
being a bit impractical with a tj/ur.
you got mail.
