4 feedbacks. I wouldn't. Ebay works on reputation.
If it seems too good to be true, it is.

ya i thought so to. better gas mileage and more power? kinda odd

Crap. There are legit chips and programers but the ebay resistor is crap

It is not possible. Uni-chip or a custom tuned piggy back is the only way to tune a Toyota ecu. Too bad because I would love to tune my rig but so far there are no options that I know of. 

[Goldrush [OP]]

can you give me a link or something to that uni-chip programmer. i would like to get that.

Don't know how good this works but there is your application.  I would just look into a tune up and exhaust, maybe a good filter. I would assume that is the best you are going to get.  But? http://tunertools.com/proddetail.asp?prod=JET-65002&cat=48

Complete BS, the price alone is all the info you need. 

Last time I checked it was about $300 through JET electronics for them to change the chip on a Toyota ecu. 

This Venom 400 Performance Control Modulator that claims to add adjustable performance to your engine, but it CARB legal.

Unless you have upgraded the exhaust, ignition, air intake, engine, etc., any type of chip or piggy back system on a stock Toyota truck engine is pretty useless, and a waste of money. 

Oem engines are designed to be quiet, so the intake and exhaust systems tend to be a little restrictive.  Opening up both would be your best bang for your buck, but that wont be cheap either.
