If you thought new speakers made a big difference, you're gonna be blown away with a new head unit! Mine made so much of a difference that I almost sent the speakers I ordered at the same time back

I just put a AFE power tube CAI on my 2012 5.0 and hope to get headers and true duels out the side put on her in the morning. then ill put a tune on it and see if it gets better MPG, or if I wasted my cash.

I didn't do anything but drive to work and back (just about all I have time to do now days) but I saw this beast sitting outside the officers club in 29 Palms during lunch. Thought you all might enjoy.

Ha! I can tell you right now that your MPG is gonna go WAY down! You aren't gonna be able to keep your foot out of it. But I know you didn't do a full exhaust for "MPG"

I enjoyed it, Big B! Those are pretty crazy to drive, you wouldn't believe how bouncy they are. I drove a yellow one that was done up with Tonka stuff all over it

Most of the stumps haven't changed in the 16 years I've been in but there have been a lot of new buildings going up in the last couple years. I'm sure you're still be able to find your away around just fine if you manage to find yourself out here.

I second that, I know mine went down for a while after I did mine! My MPG's still suffer from time to time!
