well I've done just about all I can... i'm lucky to see 15ish doing 62mph (104 km/h) depending on if there's a breeze, so I guess I'm fairing ok without spending thousands more on mods. I'll give th TM thing a go see whats what with that.

thanks for the ideas.

and p.s. - yea I was thinking the TBS were useless for fuel inj. motors, but unsure. hence why I asked the dumb question

If you search hard enough you can find one for under $50.
As you see, I bought it cause it matched the color of my truck. I just think it looks good. Pretty cheap, I got one for under $50.

Oh, and yes, copy and paste this if someone else posts about this good discussion about TBS.

And that long one was a copy and paste. From whatever I could pull up.

I got a warning sticker on my Condenser Fan Shroud that says
Warning: This truck makes 345 HP factory. Can haul up to 8500lbs. If you can't handle the power, buy a Ford or a Chevy.

Bought it off e-bay for like $5
