Hey someone give me some help. I pulled my boat this weekend for the first time since the new tires and wheels and leveling kit, and wow its such a turd. It never was like that I need to get some power back. What can I do?

 

Well since I am the first to respond I guess this was addressed to me.

When was the last time you did a tuneup? Fuel filter change?

 

Yeah this truck is barely a year old. I have not done a tuneup or replace fuel filter yet.

 

Are the tires/wheels you got now alot bigger/heavier than stock? You may need to re-rear or maybe reprogram shift points. I don't know how many miles you've put on the truck in 1 yr, but a fuel filter change is probably overdue. You shouldn't need a "tune up" as far as plugs, wires (what wires!?) but mostly just filters and fluids.

 

What performance mods have you done?

Sounds like you might need three basic performance additions:

1. Cold Air Intake. I did an AEM Brute Force with Dry Flow Filter.

2. Programmer. I did the Edge Evolution, which enabled me to adjust for my larger tire size. I switch to towing mode when I've got my bass boat behind me and it helps. It's not the fix-all, but it helps. My truck became a bit of a turd too with bigger tires and leveling kit.

3. Catback Exhaust. I did a Magnaflow boxed kit, single side exit.

I see that you're in Kentucky too. Cool.

 

Gears. You can spend a bunch of money on a good tune, exhaust, intake, etc... but none of those (or even all of those together) will get you what the proper set of gears will..

 

Agree'd. Gears.
