Chips modify the stock settings on your OBD I computer to optimize your truck's output. Once you change anything such as a cam, injectors, mass air, throttle body etc..... the chip becomes useless.
There are some that say you can "burn" a new program into a chip to accept mods but I have never seen a thread with proof of this and where to get it done.
Oh and welcome to TRS!

i had one in my 00 when i had the 2.5 before i swapped the 2.3, made a noticeable difference. although i did the tps mod, i had to set the tps back to stock for it to run right with the chip. i guess the chip helps recalibrate that along with other things such as timing and whatnot. i used the 180 tstat with the stage 2 chip. i had the header style manifold and drop in k&N

I have one in mine since I couldn't pass up the price for it and a remanu ECU. I think it makes a slight difference; it's definitely noticeable in acceleration but over all...it gave back the little power I lost when I installed taller tires. Plus I gained 1 MPG. Every little bit counts right?
I'd say it's worth it's price if you can find it for cheap used like I did and you're willing to give it a shot. Otherwise not worth the $250.00 price tag.

I know a few Ranger owners who put one on their 3.0 and 4.0 motors. They said they liked the way it shifted better (automatic trans) and the pulling power was increased a bit. Gas milage stayed the same but they were happy with it. I see them advertised on our site here.
ya i think im gonna get one for my motor thats in it to give it a little more pep and juist sell it when im finished with the rebuilt
The stock ROM on a 2.9 or early 4.0 can be reprogrammed by almost any tuner - I'd ask a dyno shop. I know of one up the street that does a good job on Fords.
