With me it would be just a "safety" thing, and $100 seems like cheap
insurance. If I started with the SBEC, and then decided to go with a
blower later down the road, I would still have the old controller to
use. Likewise if I decided to do some towing down the road, or got tired
of putting premium fuel in all the time, or decided to sell the truck
(prob. wouldn't get diddly for the SBEC on a trade, but could take it
out and sell it for more than $100 used).
Anyway, $100 isn't chump change, but like someone else pointed out, what
ya want to do with the truck may change and not "fit" with what the SBEC
does. If/when that time arrives, its sure a lot cheaper to have not
"cashed in" for the $100 and have to go by a new factory computer (which
was $700 Canadian the last time I checked).

Subject: Re: DML: SBEC REBATE
Ok,
It seems I've started a flame war over this SBEC rebate thing! First
off, I had no idea it was going to start a issue among the DML. Not my
intention at all. Secondly, the most of the replys I'm getting are to
keep the old one as back up. "just in case"!!??
Does this imply that many of you have had problems with the new
computer?
Either in performance, maintenance, warrenty issues etc etc........??
I went w/ the MOPAR chip over the JET on the basis that IF something
went wrong I would have a better chance w/ a legit MOPAR replacement
part over a "third party" part. Also I get the impression that alot of
you are switching yours out for towing, are we talking boats and camper
weight here??........or going to the dump with the bed filled with s**t
from the yard (that's me)???........again didn't mean to start a war
over this!!................. "can't we all just get along!"
