zach i saw your truck up at the oreillys off gilmer road like 2 weeks ago do you work there?
also the tune i got from terrance just wasnt cutting it so i took the truck over to luckys speed and performance to get it dyno tuned
terrance had my idle about 800 and it wouldnt crank up when cold so i would have to give it some gas. jon up there now has it cranking when cold and idle is about 650 just waiting to hear from em to call me about seeing it stapped to the rollers
