Default 2 FI truck household?

I've about decided not to sink a **** ton of money into modding my truck at this time because of ROI. I am almost ready to pull the trigger on a 2020 Dbl Cab with 6.2, 10 spd and 4wd. I could probably use the extra room anyway on a work truck. So I think I'll likely just do turbo and fuel on the new ride when available and just upgrade the fuel system with pulley and go E85 on my 14. Don't have to do anything immediately and would like to see how the new ones hold up...unless my salesman finds the one I can't live without lol. May have to special order. So turbo Dbl cab vs Whipple RC will happen down the road. I'll report with vid

Don't forget that it costs $1,900 just to get an unlocked computer for the newer trucks.

Thanks but no thanks lol. I'll drive it for a year (or two) until the industry catches up and offers some goodies. Maybe HP Tuners and Trick will have some good options by then, I want to keep the warranty anyway for a while and I can get my fix on the 14 until then Always appreciate your input my friend.

The unlocking of the modules is mandatory for tuning and won’t change.

Sometimes that tuning costs upwards of $5k if you buy all the modules upfront, have them unlocked and then swap them out.

Most people won’t fork out that kind of money. I won’t.

GM screwed us on those.

Sounds like you are overcompensating for some other lack of being blown.

Well I don't guess there is the model I want in the whole f'ing South. He said they can build it but rebates apply when delivered not ordered and that drives the price beyond what I want to pay. So I may sit tight and look for a 15-18 and sleep on it. It won't be 10 speed though. Always some **** why we can't have our cake and eat it too. Think I'll have a beer...or 6. Really appreciate all the input guys.
