Could any one who has used the Superchip module on a 2001-2002 7.3L EX please post their experiences. Is the product worth it? Any long term issues with use? Does it really make that big of a difference? Anything in particular I should look out for? 
I appreciate it.

Don't have one myself (yet), but a friend put one in his X and loves it. Says he can smoke the tires all over town. Also gained about 6 more mpg. Don't know of the long term effects, that's the part I'm curious about too. One of the guys that works for me has one in his F250...he's put 100K on the truck with the chip and has no complaints at all...I'll be looking for info. |

Superchips"chip" no but we have the Superchips "Microtuner" which is total plug and play power and performance not to mention better MPG's too 
Been using it since we got the X over two years ago and haven't had one issue with it.

Had a Superchips Microtuner for my 02 7.3L X but sold it when I got the 03 6.0L ....
Had a fight with Superchips over an ebay ad to sell it -
they pulled the ad cuz superchips claimed something like patent or copy right infringment and threatened ebay !!!
I sold it elsewhere and will never buy another superchips product...
especially after their misleading ads for the +150HP for the 6.0 ....
more like 90 rwhp.... but that's just me 
look at the Diablo at www.diablosport.com - much better support and product IMHO....

My neighbor has an Edge Evolution as well...very cool. He's had no problems and he tows a 5th wheel camper.
I have been chipless for about 40,000 miles. Trans died at 87k. Ford blamed the chip and denied warranty coverage. I would just caution you to remove any evidence of a chip if you are within your warranty and are going in for warranty coverage.
I'll get another chip eventually, I just wanted to run through the 36k warranty coverage on my rebuilt tranny before going with another chip. I didn't want to risk losing warranty coverage had there been a problem with the rebuilt trans that replaced my dead trans.
Don't forget to purchase your chip from http://www.dieselinnovations.com or http://www.dieselsite.com (sponsors on SuperMotors).

I'm actually delighted to see Bob is a sponsor here on Supermotors as I found out about him from another site a couple years ago where I started purchasing from him. He is a very very knowledgable person as well as his wife Sheryl,both top notch as far as I'm concerned and come highly recommended in the Ford Powerstroke clan
