Throttle lag can be fixed with this little accessory........
Hahaha, J/K......any good plug and play tuner can help out that throttle lag and make that thing drive and perform like you would want it to. You truck looks close to mine stock cept for the different blue which I LOVE by the way..... Let the mods begin!

Look at the superchips distributor threads and a few others for some honest facts. Good luck with it..
oh sorry...nice truck. love that color.

And - IMO - the ear to ear grin you get from the performance gains for literally 2 minutes of your time to install this mod makes it a clear no brainer here, you would also be surprised at how many techs and service writers/mgrs drive tuned trucks as well... Our dealer has actually installed some of my mod's - the AS, AAL as well as tires - great techs - and other than exhaust work, I would not have anyone else in our area service my truck.
okay, but i also read that when you program it back to stock, it takes about 2weeks before the computer "re-learns" all the shift points, and other things it does, and that because of this, the dealer knows it had a tuner on it.
i guess you could claim you disconnected the battery for whatever reason...couldn't you?
btw, just playing devil's advocate here, as i'm dying to get one of these things!!!!
