Diesel to gas, but not sure what one to get....

I would have to agree about the lack of power. I have an Eco with the 3.31 axle it is very underpowered. It is slow when empty and very slow when I tow with it. Based on what other people are saying it seems the lower gear ratios make a significant difference, although I haven't driven an Eco with anything but 3.31 gears.

Even without a tuner these trucks learn different shifting patterns. Driving used is a random crapshoot for this reason, also. You can always retrain. Or tune.

The FX4 I drove has 355 gears, has quite a rake to it, so when I buy it Id like to level the front if thats possible, then add a tuner to wake it up. Ill start searching that stuff

I was planning on leveling my FX5 too, as it has a lot of rake as well (they all do, really). But then I had 700 lbs of lumber in the bed over the weekend, and was surprised at how much the bed sank. It was lower than the front, giving me that California rake look. I'm not so sure now if I'll level, that's quite a bit of drop from a truck that's supposed to have a payload in the 1,500lb range. My old Frontier dropped less with just as much weight in it!

You could also look around for a set of take-off tow mirrors. The last option is a few aftermarket companies make tow mirrors for our trucks.

Yeah, I run AAL's and bought a set of extensions off of Craigslist for when I tow.

I should have my truck sold today, possibly getting the 13 EB with 47K on it tomorrow, researching the must do's, probably change the plugs first, SCT 5 star tuner?
This one?

Level the front a little, way too raked for my liking..
Any other must do's for longevity on this year?
How long is the factory warranty? Or is that long gone?

Powertrain is 5y/60k, should still be in effect. BtB is gone at 36k. If this is a CPO, the warranty is extended. There are also rust and emissions warranties, I think those are 5y.
You guys and your rake hate. LOL! Personally, I think leveled trucks look weird. And you put something in the bed and they point at the sky.

Looks like a nice truck. If you want to level, I would suggest some adjustable coil-overs instead of level spacers. I put in spacers and am now buying coil-overs. You will also be able to set them where you like. As Spiky says, you don't want to throw stuff in the back or hook up a trailer and have it nose high.
