Hope post was not to long.... Like i said i have many years of tuning experience, and have worked with some of the best in many hot rod shops with my dad. So any help you guys need, please ask... i may be able to help

I hope to get to know you all, and maybe some of you can give me some ideas for my new truck..... I really think this thing is going to need a custom tune.... I wanna buy hp tuners software, but all the new stuff in this truck i'll be the first to admit is a little intimidating. maybe ill get a custom tune, and take it apart, and compare to a stock tune, just to see what i can do..

Well please feel free to give me ideas for what to do to my truck... any help would be cool, just till i get used to this, and from what i see most of you have a pretty vast knowledge of these new trucks, and i'd love to leech some of it off you.

i am in souther cal so any of you wanna come take a look at some of my other custom stuff, or just shoot the and help me figure out my truck, or boat or bikes. pm me, and i will tell you to come on by. happy motoring
