Thanks, I'll test it again later. I only did one run, should I brake boost it to get a better time? It is a 5 liter. Should I turn traction off? 2wd or 4wd?

traction off and if you only want 0-60 4WD is the way to go but try both ways .check the ECU tune some time the tune comes with the supercharge is not the best you can check for good tuners to make custom tunes for your truck to get even more HP and don't forget to check a bigger throttle like the one from BBK and headers those 2 alone gives 30-40 HP if not more .

It would be sweet if you put some fox coilovers in the front and fox shocks in the rear.

Love to have a super charger but the cost alone for gas would be outrageous.

the only thing stop me from putting supercharge is that am afraid the trans wont handle the extra power since i have heavy feet and i didn't see yet any feed back from people who did get supercharge and how its going with there trans till now .

My only suggestion would be to bring that truck by my house, drop off the keys, and sign it over to me so you dont have to worry about it anymore haha, but thats a real nice truck, and nice car as well

one more thing you may like is changing the ratio of the deferential since you have big tyre . if the ratio is 3.55 you can go 3.75 or even 4.10 but you better read and see videos of ppl who change to get an idea of which will fit your needs more . remember the higher the number the more RPM you going to get on same gear like on x speed on 6th gear you get 2k RPM with 3.55 ratio when you go for 4.10 the RPM going to be like 2600 on same gear same speed but you will have better acceleration and power vs poor fuel economy and of course its important to ECU tune for that change

Seems like I get the same response from all my nephews, friends, etc.

Thank you! I've really been enjoying the truck, I never knew I was a truck guy.

I haven't checked my gas mileage, but it seems like it is sucking on gas mileage I have to reset it and see.

Thanks everyone for the responses, I really appreciate it. I'm new to the truck world and am loving it, but have also been on a lot of other forums. I came from a motorcycle forum (m109riders.com) and Porsche forum (6speedonline.com) and other misc ones.

I got the truck back today with the new stereo, speakers, and sub woofer. Sounds really good and my mechanic gave me home grown hen eggs I know kinda weird but I'm in the south...so enjoy it!? P.S. I'm not originally from the south

Keep the responses coming
