I haul a 24 footer and two atvs on a rack on top of bed with my 5.2 1500 stocker. Had tranny rebuilt heavy duty and shift kit. I'm thinking of high flow filter and exhaust. Other than that I think everything is minimal improvements.

These trucks aren't power houses. Slow and steady gets you to the same place as everyone else.

Just think, if ur the last one there, everyone else will be set up and be able to help u set up..which gives u more beer drinking time.
