The 5.3 has plenty of power... but the way the pedal action is tuned drives me nuts. It is SO NUMB for what feels like more than the first 25% of pedal movement. Unfortunately there isnt much we can do about that.

So no tuning available yet or that parameter not modifiable yet?

Yeah man, it may sound like I don't like the new 5.3, but I actually do and have been pleasantly surprised with how it drives. Unfortunately I'm only down to a half tank of gas......can't wait to try some E85!

As much as i'd love bigger wheels, this one will keep her stockers, 18" is a good size for towing tires or E Load.
