Re:upgrade yes or no

I put an EZ on mine at over 100000 miles. Don't do it. You will never be able to get the grin off your face. And that's only the beginning. Remember, you've been warned. Once you start, you can't stop.

I STARTED with my 1st gen at 100,000mi. 135,000miles later, NO problems unless you want to include:

Lotsa smiles from me

This is what happens when you start bombing. <br>As you can see, JohnP's truck definately has a traction problem here. When you want to go for a ride and see what this little six will do, give John a call for sure.

Re:upgrade yes or no

Assuming you have a 24 valve, add fueling box. I recommend going straight away to an Edge Comp or its equivalent. Leave the pump wire dangle. Do your research, don't forget gauges and drivetrain, and after you have driven your truck awhile, then hook up the wire and it will feel like driving a new truck all over again.<br><br>Roger
