Put on an AFE stage 1 w/ proguard 7. seems to have gained a mile or two per gallon. will know more this week when it goes across the state. I am also looking at the 4" exhaust next.

I put the 6637 NAPA filter on my truck. I got another MPG from it on my PSD, so it was worth it. I'm going with the 4" exhaust, then the gauges, & finally the programmer (Diablo). I'd have gone down this road sooner, but the $$$ got spent on other stuff.

I am also trying to make up my mind between the AFE-1,the air-raid and the K&N.. I had the K&N filter in my 'burb and took it out 'cuz it didn't appear to be doing any good..Also looking at the AIS..What to do,what to do... After this will also be going with the 4" exhaust.. Well,the old lady wants sheepskins on the seats before the exhaust,soooo..
