I was wondering if you guys could give me some upgrades I could do with the truck. They could be little or big things im just wanting to know what you guys think. And if you were wondering I already have new stereo, stereo speakers, nerf bars, dual exhaust, new tires and rims, tow hooks, and tinted tail lights. For right now I am just looking for something that wont break the bank. Let me know if you guys have any ideas. Thanks!

I would lose the nerf bars. SCT after a full tune-up, maybe fender flares.

SCT is a very good tuner for these trucks that really wakes them up.

Easy is a matter of pluging it in to the OBDII port and following instructions

How much is now quite a bit. Used to be $265 for canned tunes, but now they have a completely different tuner out and it's closer to $500 right now.

You can find the x2 tuners for less money, but they're all used.

Is it worth it? Like, will I notice a power gain? Or is it so slight that I wont feel anything?

You'll notice it, but I'd try to get a used tuner.

What about a cold air intake? Have you had any experience with these and what are your thoughts on them?

CAIs don't do much unless you make a ram air system. The stock air box on these trucks are pretty much a CAI anyway.

Oh ok. Is there anything that will make the truck a little louder? I already have the flowmaster 40 and its pretty good but im just wondering if there is anything out there that will bump up the sound a little bit.

I was actually looking in to one of those. I might go through with one of those.
