    Questions about 20" Wheels

    Hello All, I am thinking about putting 20's on my 2005 Hoe. So I have a few questions before I make the plunge. Will they affect my gas mileage? Will I need bigger brakes? Will I need to get the Odometer reprogrammed? Not a big deal, I have a custom tune. What tires do 20's owners...

    Hypertech Power Programmer 3

    Hello All, I'm thinking of buying a Hypertech Power Programmer 3. I have 5.3L engine, with TrueFlow CAI and Magnaflow CAT back. It appears that my computer isn't taking advantage of my mods and I was wondering if the Hyptech can help out, especially with MPGs. Thanks!

    Performance and MPG mods

    I have the True Flow Intake and Magnaflow CATback setup now. I haven't noticed any gains yet. I'm doing combo driving right now and my mpg is bouncing between 14 and 15 mpg. When it gets below 35 degrees my mpg drops into the 13s. I'm hoping my MPG will improve once the gas switches from the...

    Magnaflow CAT Back Questions

    I finally purchased my Magnaflow CATback and I had it installed. I haven't noticed any mpg gains but I'm waiting for the fuel blends to switch over. I hope to see improvements then. I do see some of the other improvements that Boostaholic mentioned. There's no drone at cruising speeds but on...

    Magnaflow CAT Back Questions

    Cool, I'll probably consider a programmer in the distant future instead of a tune. I drive my Tahoe approx 50 miles a day but I tow my toy on the weekends :D . Thanks for all of the info!

    Magnaflow CAT Back Questions

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll go for the CAT Back. The intake isn't too loud, only when I stomp on it. I haven't had it real loaded that though. I'm going on trip shortly with the truck fully loaded. We'll see how it does. Thanks!

    Magnaflow CAT Back Questions

    Hello All, I am looking to install a Magnaflow CAT back on my 05 hoe. I've seen some discussions were I may be able to get away with replacing the muffler only. Can you all share your experiences with me or enlighten me on what would be best? My main goal is to improve MPG and I don't want a...

    Best air intake system

    I have a TrueFlow intake and it's similar to the Airaid MIT in the previous post. I also have an Airaid Throttlebody Spacer. I've gotten 19.5 MPG on an all highway trip. I've had this setup for almost 2 months.

    Volant CAI??????

    Update So I went on a road trip between Ga and NC. On the the way to Ga, I got 17.9 MPG. On the way back to NC I got 19.5 MPG. Needless to say I was very pleased. :D Currently, I've gotten 17.1 MPG. I think the MPG will get lower than that driving mixed. I'll post back in a few days...
