Transmission trouble??

One '96 F350 PSD Auto Trans. MELTED 3 transmissions.
One '02 F250 PSD Auto Trans. MELTED 1 transmission.

All caused by that cute little thing called a POWER CHIP, installed by the Ford dealer. I wasn't the only one either. Ford, ate alot of transmission work before they wised up and started voiding the trans. warranty, if the vehicle had been chipped.

IMHO, if you want more HP, modify the intake and exaust, but leave the electronics alone.
