If that is not a chip or programmer, what is it? According to the video, the guy says it is "warranty safe" because the vehicles computer will not "know" that the thingamagig is installed - I find that hard to believe. Of course, no where is it said that it is "warranty allowed". Interesting and very careful use of words.

That thing might work, but along with most others here I wouldn't put it on an engine that is still under factory warranty.

From what I understand it is a computer that ramps the fuel up from the vehicles computer signals. I'm not trying to sell the thing and I don't have one either. I have been thinking about getting one though and trying it out. Not for the claimed fuel mileage increase but for another reason. The reason it is called warranty safe is because it can be unplugged and removed before taking the vehicle in. It is installed after the computer so it don't change any of the computers settings so they say it's untraceable. IDK. It's not "warranty allowed" because anything you put on your truck that is aftermarket has the chance to void some warranty. A simple grill guard could void a warranty.

I read their Disclaimer, on their website. You will find it in the footer. Read it yourself, and decide if you want to do business with these jokers.

A programmer is used in conjunction with a delete kit. Warranty issues for sure when something goes south. A programmer will simply force the timing to advance, increase fuel flow from the injectors while creating higher temps even though u may not see those due to the newer cooling system. Some tuners will destroy the injectors over time due to the higher fuel flow/pressure being exerted on them. With the newer diesels already powerhouses I personally would not mess with it. Today's computer systems are a tell all to the dealer during warranty claims, and the tune even if deleted will show in the history. Just my opinion, but with the prices of Diesel engine and components I would leave it alone.

There's no chip for a 2016. You would use a programmer.

I've chipped Ford diesels. It increased my power but didn't do a thing for my fuel mileage.

Most "chips" or programmers worth using will elimanate your emission system. If you are willing to do that then yes it will give you 2-3mpg and a huge amount of power.
