Ppe

Will my truck be able to handle the 160hp tune that ppe offers or should I just stick with the 120hp tune?

Your truck will handle it just fine......but your tranny may not like it unless you upgrade it.

you can run the 160hp but you gotta stay out of it in the higher gears such as anything past 3rd gear..

Just remember every time you limp the trans, it will limp easier the next time!

this may sound stupid... but how do you know when you "limp" the trans?

I've got a six gun in my truck... and an Allison.
