I know Jet Performance makes a chip for our trucks and i know you can call them and request certain tunes you would want. I made a post about performance chips awhile back but no one responded. I dont know how much of a difference a 300$ chip would do to our truck anyhow...

I'm with danger... without a bunch of mods, the chip probably wouldn't be worth the $$$

and from what I've seen, there aren't a lot of 'real' options for our trucks anyway.

Sorry about my little speech - it just gripes me that people make a living taking advantage of others who don't know any better.

Oh boy... there was a long thread on this not too long ago. You'll get lots of opinion on UD pulleys!

My opinion is:

You get a couple HP = good
A/C runs slower = your own fault, good/bad depends on where you live
water pump runs slower = not good
alternator runs slower = very not good

For me, the not goods outweigh the goods by a long shot

was woundering wut octain u use? if u use 85 try 88 .91?for a couple tanks . and or want to drop a lil $$$ just go for a simpleish tune up, cap rotor, plugs, and wires, maybe add a new coil.u can do this without spending too much. proper tire pressures will help
