Thornton Chip

[stooler]

I'm about to pull the trigger for a Thornton Chip. I have a 2018 1500 Pentastar 3.6. Anybody have any info on this item? So many performance chips are just a rip off. The high praise reviews for this one seem almost too good to be true. stooler

Find it hard to believe HP and torque increases aren't mutually exclusive to MPG increases. I would think that claim for mileage is dependent on driving the thing conservatively which you can do without the chip. Elimination of any excess weight like hitch, tools, etc. and leaving truck stock (i.e. no steps, light steel rims), and slowly accelerating and smooth stops will do more for MPG than any chip. Don't see any information on if it requires premium fuel, which would negate any monetary savings.

Had to google Thornton Chip. If it’s the same site, I wouldn’t buy it. Street address leads to a strip mall. If you want a programmer or tuner, go with a repeatable dealer.

I bought one and saw a slight increase in mileagebut then it went back to normal. So I called to complain and they sent me simple reset direction and again I saw a slight bump in MPG
