if you're looking for a little more power, put a k&n filtercharger system on it and a better muffler. That's about all I'd do to a daily driver. What are you planning on?

well i already have airaid intake, throttle body spacer,tranny cooler and 2 40 flows w/ 3" dumps. I want more power for when i start pulling my jeep-if ever!! after going from 32" to 33" i was lagging big time-now i get going pretty quick again. kind of want better gas mileage but when your pulling that much saving gas is not an option. mainly just want more horsepower so my truck wont crap out when pulling.Originally Posted by Fredo

did you do that stuff piece at a time?
Did the airaid intake help? TB spacer?
My airaid intake was a total waste of money, and the spacer didn't help and is freakin annoying, but the wannabe turbo sound gets dieselboy all hot and bothered
is your truck 4x4 or 2x4? Gearing is about all you can do. I get 15-17 in mine with stock tires, k&N drop in, and flowmaster...maybe a little less with the ugly truck in tow
Your truck will pull an XJ just fine.
Probably because you didn't put the k&n sticker on your truck.Originally Posted by uglyota

its two wheel drive trust me i know i had trhe pleasure of pulling it out when he stuck it behind penburthy.
put 31's on it thats about the best way your gonnaget better milage, and power, do a search there has been a couple threads about this in the past year, and the replies are almost the exact same.

read that thread.
put 31"s back on it and maybe go to 4.10 gears if you're really going to be pulling a lot with it. thats all you need.
haha i beat you austin

as long as its an automatic it wont affect it at all driving around town. the gears will give you more power whell pulling, but you'll run higher RPMs at highway speed, so you'll get slightly worse mileage on the highway unless you slow down a bit.
