Where to start?

xtremedmax01 · 06-26-2009, 09:07 AM

I have had my truck for about a year and I am now looking at slowly adding performance upgrades. I am not looking for high HP gains as everything is stock just looking for extra power and not killing the MPG.

Exhaust would be a good start. You Will gain some MPG. Then again you can buy a tuner and get better MPG and power.

Def start exhaust and intake. Let that baby breath!!!

a exhaust system and a tuner like the quad would be a great place to start.

I have all three things on my 01 already what else can be upgraded?

Fuel system if you want to run a bigger tune, transmission upgrades are also a must at certain hp levels.

If you are going to consider tuners, exhausts, etc, you should think about AMSOIL synthetic fluids throughout. Like the exhaust will help a little with mpg, among the other benefits of longer drain intervals, better cold weather starts, smoother, better performance. Let me know if I can help.

Take care

Quick question have a superchip programer I hate it by the way, when I program my truck and pull my trailer even on the low setting it kicks into limp mode. My trailer is only a 14ft enclosed with 2 dirt bikes and I have 2 55 gal drums of water in the bed. Any idea,is it the tuner or the truck? Always does it no matter what i'm pulling that trailer isnt that heavy. The truck is paid off next month so its time for me to upgrade it.

We need to know either what code it is throwing or what limp mode you are talking about (2k rpm limit or stuck in gear)!!

Never throws a code, soon as I get to about 60 mphour it shuts down and will not take throttle till it slows down to 30.
