I see this guy selling these little black 2-wire boxes on ebay that boast improved horse power & fuel economy. I checked his feedback & several people stated that it was just a resistor that can be purchased from Radio Shack. I had another guy tell me about putting a resistor on my Peterbilt to do the same.Does anyone know what it is ,if it works & where do you install it? Thanx!!!

It has been covered by the other diesel forum.
It does not make any sense. However, if you want to try it feel free to do so.

all it supposedly does is trick the computer into believing iat is lower than what it is or something along those lines. don't waste yer money there are better ways to up the power on the 6.5 and those better ways are real. Ed

Depends where the resistor is added, if we are talking about a variable rate fuel control, that is total BS, if vendor is A-1 customs aka "Steaksauce" to many of us anything they sell is junk. If a variable boost control then that is another story, and there are ways to making that a go, but IMO t turbo master mechanical boost control does a better job, plus you can eliminate problematic vac pump, can you fill out your signature so we know what flavor of 6.5 we are advising on?

It's added at the IAT sensor. He didn't say in series or parallel though.

on gassers, I know ebay vendors selling resistors with heatshrink on em, installed on IAT sensor it would tell ecm that it was 32 degrees outside, so ecm would increase fuel for power.--for mileage, fool ecm that its 110 degrees and it pulls fuel back. sold for $10-$20 on a .89 to $1.10 resistor
