No haven't really stepped on it yet, don't want to take any unnecesarry chances at this point. I was really surprised though when I picked it up the first time I pushed the accelerator though and the response I got, I was like whoa don't have to push so much to get it going. Going to take it out today and get on it alittle bit and see what it does.

Gears will probably in the future of my truck as well. After the tuner and system get installed.

For everything, gears, install and new cover I paid right at $1k (little higher over here in Hawaii). I think the gears and labor without the cover would have run me a little more than $800.

Still need to get it out on one where I can really get on it. Traffic over here is really bad so forcing myself to get out in it is the problem.

Yeah over the last couple of days I have been able to get it out on the highway and get on the accelerator a little bit. Gears still have less than 100 miles on them so still taking it a little easy. I can say though that I can definitely feel a difference over the stock 3.55's that were in it. I push the gas pedal and the truck actually picks up and goes. I would really love to get it on a dyno though and find out what kind of HP's I am pushing though. I am running my first tank of 92 octane and the Troyer 92 performance tune for the first time and although I can feel a difference it's not quite what I thought it would be. Maybe I just need to drop it back down to the stock tune, run it like that for a couple of days and then reinstall the performance tune to make me aware of the differences again.
