Half ton? You will break parts regularly.

Ummmmm sorry we couldnt get to you sooner but you might as well take of the throttle body spacer and return it while you can.....unlike your gmc a spacer will not affect performance other than by the added weight

Well the D60's are a good start for the mudding. a few questions for you though.

are you looking to put some money into the truck? And are tuners allowed?

If your running an auto Trans, make sure you check out the FAQ section here for some good preventative maintenance tips to follow to help keep your trainee from going boom.


And welcome to the forums

thanks for the welcome and when i bought the truck it had the throttle body spacer on it already and truedge yes im willing to drop some money into the truck but im not quite sure what i should do performance wise and there is a stock class and theres a modified street legal class the guy before that had it had just gone through and redone the transmission and the transfer case and the drive shaft is custom made and is guaranteed not to break but other then that im kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place on what to do
