I have no reason to lie. It's an auto and that's a one wheel peel too until I change the gears and add my locker. You can see all the other stuff I have done to it in my signature... Not much for power adders.
If you have time and skill you can make your own bars like I did or just buy a set like most guys do

Smashing it. I don't drive for mileage I could really care less best I've gotten has been 16.3 mpg average 13ish most tanks. I'm also chasing a big loss in power that I haven't had any luck tracking. I really need and will buy AE next time I can so I can track what's going on with the truck

I know it's not a boost leak... One of my sensors or hpop who know until I get AE. AE let us read every parameter of our trucks

Ohh okay I see what you were saying. Yeah I have the Edge CTS Monitor and it pretty much tells me everything but EGTS and OIL PRESSURE. So i have gauges for that.

Yeah I don't know much about the edge but I'm pretty sure it doesn't tell you half of what AE does... I don't know for sure though I'm sure someone else will chime in with more info on that


I think you might have enough post now to put a signature on so you don't have to repeat everything you've done to your truck everytime you have a problem or want to know something new
