Going to need scanguage to determine that...no tac. I do most of my highway/interstate driving at speeds over 70mph, so I know there is probably alot to gain there with a ring and pinion swap. However, I havn't looked into it enough to determine if I can reprogram the ECU to adjust my speedo.
Sometimes I pull a small trailer (500-700 lbs), and I often have 250-400lbs in the box for work. That is the only thing that gives me pause on gear ratio swap.
We may be moving to a more rural community, which would force me to drive this truck about 65 miles about 5 times a week. If she gets this job, I'm going to need to milk as much out of every tank as I can.
I'm thinking that e-fan or grill block will be my easiest mod that will have the biggest gain. Hoping somebody else has been thru this process and can help me prioritize.
