Anyone have any advice or opinions? This is my first diesel so I would like any suggestions. Any idea what tune or mods I would get the best mileage with? Tires are stock for now. Most ill do is a leveling kit with 33s. Occasionally ill tow a flatbed with my willys pickup or hay or firewood. Thank you all for any advice!

Be careful with with the programmer. Ive got the bully dog programmer and limped my transmission on the 150hp tune. Now I run the 100hp tune daily and run the 50hp tune when I tow. Wont run it higher till I get the transmission built. Definatley bigger Intake as others have stated, and the factory trans temp guage is accurate. Enjoy!

Kris, the cluster (I stated in a different thread on this) I can get it done for you for $100..isn't hard to remove. And this guy has life time warrenty..$100..is what it takes to get it fixed..so that isn't a bad thing. Also you don't have to car fax it you can either go by the dealer and get when they did it and he should have a all the recepts for what he had don't to the truck ask him to produce them.

thanks for the reply. yeah, i have everything set up for the bank for the $$, insurance prices, and a dealer plate to drive it home. i will try to get a vin # and see if i can run the VIN at the local GM dealer and see if they can trace what warranty work has been done.


as for the cluster, yeah, ill be fixing it, and ill probably take ya up on that 100$ fix. lol. ive taken lots of these clusters out, i just didnt know of pricing on to actually fix them:tu:

Sounds good man. Just let me know and I can either get you the number to the guy or I can give you my number and we can work somethin out on that thing. I just know the guy got it done and done quick with hardly any down time. So just let me know if you need it done and i'll get you the info or whatever.
