I'm just not a fan of the stock tires on the 4x4. They look way to small. But I'm thinking of getting a tuner and see what that will do

Do a gear swap.

Hell you get 4.56s and get 35in tires and it would pull better than it does now.

Geez niceandeasy, if you didn't live on the wrong side, then the axles I have for sale (link in sig) would be more appealing to ya!

Alot of good advice here and the top items are:

1) Deathflash, which can be resolved with a superchips (cheaper, basic and plentiful) or a SCT (more stuff with this one but $$$).

2) Condition of the drivetrain (e.g., intake plenum gasket read sticky thread, engine compression, vacuum leaks, normal oil/filter/lube intervals, etc.)

3) Regear after above is understood and brought up to date

Carry on!

Just calculated my mpg after kegger mod, shaved where injectors go and TB mod. Belly pan was not leaking just wanted to put the aluminum plate on it because a bought it over 2 years ago. I went from 11mpg to 13mpg. As far as power well..... The *** Dyno showed no more power in mid or high rpm like every on says. o well 2 mpg makes up for it I guess

Yes yours is. It's a so called over up for spark nock. At turns back your timing at different rpm. And cuts power
