    i learned the hard way if you want hp do it right ecm turbo ratiator injectors cam so on and so on. its not cheap if you do cheap it will end up costing more than to do it right the first time.

    You might consider rebuilding the head with a different cam which controls the valve opening and closing times. This will get you up a hill further before downshifting with increased torque.

    I don't know the extent of the job, but you might consider changing rear end gear ratio's.

    4.63 gears? if your hauling regular freight and not heavyhaul that ratio will hurt your mpg.

    Brad will get her done EVENTUALLY so be prepared for terrible communication and not knowing when you will get your ecm back.... But like I said he will get it done if your not a patient person Brads not for you, if your patient you will be impressed.
