How is your motor modded? If stock, is there any reason to upsize? I don't thing it'll gain you anything, but could be wrong.

What's wrong with fresh stock 19's? The 21's won't do a thing for you with a stock motor.

Before replacing them, run some Techron through the fuel. That may clean them up.

I've heard you can , but I'm not sold on it, not unless you re-map. Just guessing, but when you increase the injector size, - seems that you need to increase the pulse width setting in the PCM (for correct pulsewidth\duty cycle). I could be wrong, maybe the PCM can re-map, to a certain point. Like, it may be okay up too 90% throttle, but you could lean out wide open.

Other than that, -a tuner could dial in that much of a jump. You won't gain anything.

Dang Pat beat me to it. LOL

Dumping more fuel isn't going to make it run rich? Or is that not enough increase to cause the computer to not be able to correct for it?

If your computer isn't right, then your truck won't run right.
