Did you install the 4.11's or were those from the factory? It won't stay that clean for long with me driving it up and down the back country roads we live off of.

Any plans for a nice A/T tire in the future?

No A/T's on this one... 2WD and I'm going to try to tune it to get the best mpg's as possible. It does have the michelin ltx's on it now with 50+% tread.

it had 4.11s from the factory i guess. unless the po had them changed. i usually get 13-16 mpg reguardless city/hgwy/ or towing. no mods.
If you can't fix it with a hammer and a welder then your gonna need a new one!

Changed Trans fluid & rear end fluid yesterday. Everything looked good and not too much stuck on the magnets. I've put a 1,000+ miles on it since I've had it and am very pleased with it so far. It's averaging 18 MPG.

I also found out that it has a trans lock on it made by Banks which works hand in hand with the exhaust brake. I talked to Banks and they suggest that I upgrade my exhaust first before doing anything else, then the intake, then a tune. I've been looking at some 4" exhaust kits with less restrictive mufflers so that will be one of my first mods on it.

They had the Magnaflow for the same price when I bought mine from there. I wouldn't hesitate at all to buy from them again.
