I have a 2009 I have left my truck stock for the warranty. I use different tires and your truck should take 35's ok.. might rub a little on turns.. Waiting for my warranty to expire then I will get a snow performance methanol injection.. will get 50 hp and some mileage with no extra fuel

other than the obvious 12 valves.. the 12 valve had a mechanical Injector pump that looked like a small diesel engine, and the 24 has a rotary electronic injector pump. the newer trucks including the 6.7 has a High Pressure common Fuel Rail injection.. on this, they use electronic injectors.. all the others use mechanical injectors...
