Depends on which highway I'm on (lots of wide open space out in TX).

Out here, try doing 105 and 1) keeping your license and not going to jail and 2) pray you dont hit a dog, possum, raccoon and pray really hard you dont cross paths with a deer.

Talk about getting off track...

I'll end this with: ain't but 2 reasons I go to GA, Savannah for St Patty's (not in quite a few years though) and to get to FL from anywhere up north. I grew up in the woods, so of course you don't go flying through there (duh). I'm talking open highways with no one around you and the only person I have to worry about is me. I don't do it very often but I like to be able to. Its my truck - deal with it.

I do a tow small travel trailer around six times a year or so, and I plan to run 35's soon if that makes any difference. I understand the 03's have a stand alone ecu for the tranny anyway, so any insight there would be appreciated.

Thanks all in advance!
Mike,
I would recommend a SC-3815. I have never used a SC3815, but have used a SC3865 and believe this will do what you are asking at a reasonable price. The older model supposely does all that can be done for our beloved 03's. Good luck.....

Thanks guys. Sorry I haven't been on here for a bit.

I think I'll try and find a used 3815, even though the DSP sounds fun, I'm not sure how long I'll have this particular truck. I don't think Id use the custom tune end of things on a DSP, so the extra $$ for would be wasted.

I'm looking into the E-fan and trans wire mods right now, rims and 35's soon..
