The Perfect Setup!!!

Ok...I tried this on a website for work and thought I'd give it a try here. Lets try and get everyone to list there truck: year, model, miles, add-on, MPGs,..ect. I'll make the set up for this...everyone just has to copy the layout from this post...then past it in a new one with adding their info. I think it would help quite a bit to all of us who keep asking the same questions over and over again. Now we will see who has what truck...what they have done to it...and what the effects are! And maybe a picture posted if you've figured out how to do that...I haven't yet...but hopefully soon!!! Thanks everyone!!

Goped...I am actually taking it fairly easy on it. I creep to stop lights and take off fairly slow. There is the occasion when I hit it...but nothing different than what I was doing before. The only change I did was the exhaust. I may put the cat back on just to see how that affects things. The drop in MPGs isn't what I was looking for...but I'll take it with the new sound and power!
