Well, I just ordered a bunch of Dumb stuff for my truck so I guess I'm keeping it and going through with all the Fixes and Mods. Today's order list was Catback, tuner, exhaust manifolds and a better scan tool. I'm probably going to regret it but if it works out then the truck will be happy for another few years. (I also have to find the oil leak. I think it's the oil pan. It leaks worse the the FBI.)

After I fix the mechanicals then I'll get the windsheild replaced and seamed up right. I am betting it's leaking on the GEM since I get dripped on when the truck gets a heavy rain. Then I'll order the rocker sheetmetal for under the front supercrew doors and start that whole process.

...and because i just spent tons of money, I randomly got a Cylinder 4 Misfire and barely made it home, lol. I tell ya, these days that end in Y are a PITA. ..Oh and it fixed itself after I got home.

How old do you have to be to start saying I'm too old for this S*.

The only thing I see kind of silly is a tuner. Not sure what you would need that for with a gen 10. Other than that...typical stuff.

The truck ran better with the tune on it. It was peppier, shifted firmer, MPH was adjusted. I took the tune off and paired the tuner with my last car before I sold it. It might not give a ton of power but it's worth the money.

Doesn't using a tuner to boost transmission pressures and firm up shifts induce the risk of failure over a proper shift kit?

For me, I think the biggest benefit would be the MPH adjustment.
