Description
Bought 2-1-12. The original owner ordered this with the 3rd row seat, 3.73 rear end with LSD and the safety package. Original sticker was over $36k. That 3.73 rear end really gets the truck moving along quickly from a stop until about 50mph when it runs out of breath.

I need to improve the lighting all around. The headlights aren't very bright and the exterior needs bright LED bulbs.

For now just put in the K&N drop-in intake into the factory airbox and already there is a +2mpg city, +4mpg hwy increase in fuel economy, and a 0.3s drop on my 0-60 time on average. There is a significantly noticeable increase in throttle response as well. Worth the $50 I'd say.
