RE: just installed super chips!!!!
What level settings did you use? Did you go to the ones requiring premium?
Do you know if the tow settings are just active when in the tow mode?

RE: just installed super chips!!!!
Jeff,
What kind of Gas ileage were you getting before you did the Chip Change?
I've got a 96 Tahoe with the stock 16" Wheel/Tire and I'm getting around 24 MPG, which is basically twisting Mountains and 2 lane highways.[8D]
I'll be switching to 20" Wheel/Tire combo soon.
Does the larger size degrade the mileage THAT much?[
]
(not that it would change my mind from upgrading to 20')!

RE: just installed super chips!!!!
im getting 12.5 mpg right now and thats with 24'wheels intake and exhaust! the main reason i got the sc is for the recalibration of the wheels because i think that is what was effecting my mpg

Dont expect a MPG increase with the superchips. HOwever, the performance is well worth the price! I only paid 300 for a brand new one!
