we could do without the name calling and finger gestures, BUT a BS flag has been thrown on the field, awaiting the ref's ruling.just interested in the straight truth.

I don't care about HP or torque but wouldn't mind increasing mpg's if not too expensive to buy or install.

First the you should do is find a mechanic or somebody that has a Pegasys or other detailed diagnostic reader. It will tell you all kinds of info, like if there are any codes being thrown by the computer, if any cylinders are miss firing, if engine temp is normal. It only takes a few minutes, and if the owner of the truck doesn't agree, then walk away. I've even taken them to used car lots. They freak out if you are putting it on a vehicle that has all kinds of hidden problems. And the car fax report is real good, but it doesn't show you if there has been any unreported accidents.

just put an exhaust on your truck, and k&n air filter. that will give you a little better gas milage, and sound sweet if your trucks nice enough to get a look lol. which just made me think of how much i hate seeing those little old honda cars with the loud exhaust that sounds like a damn bumblebee!!!!!! i got duel straight pipe exhaust on my dakota and flowmasters on my titan and they both sound sweet

:bigfinger wasnt talking to you mind your own.you have no idea of what all upgrades Ive done.Now I know why I deleted you and will have to redo it. :bigfinger

lol...ok! You're right, I don't know what upgrades you've done. But what I DO know is that your truck only came with 231 hp from the factory and the Bully Dog is only giving you at BEST 30 more HP.

Don't be mad that you got called out on BS. Maybe you just didn't know any better?

🙂 wait...you've "deleted" me, so you won't even see this. Not sure why you "deleted" me to begin with, I don't think we've ever had a single conversation before.
