    Transmission Temperature

    Midwest, If it makes you feel better my autometer gauge hasn't moved much more then 100* all winter long and even in the summer heat it's rare that it goes over 150* no matter how hard I work the truck. The cooler the better!

    Largest tire on a stock wheel

    I ran 315/75R16's for 6 months on stock 16x7 inch wheels without any problems or irregular tire wear however I wouldn't mount any larger of a tire on 7 inch wheels 315's are pretty much the limit.

    TRUCK DOWN

    Are you sure your truck doesn't already have a single setting chip installed in the pcm? My edge evolution will not recognize the key on prompt if I try to install programming with my chip installed.

    turbo upgrade on a budget...

    I would go with the ATS housing, a wicked wheel. I have a wicked wheel with the stock housing and it seems to help alot. I have no more compressor surge, a little bit quicker spool up, and about a 50* drop in egts.

    One piece drivelines?

    I had my stock shaft (2pc) made longer (the rear section) at the local driveshaft shop and they reused the yokes. I have had a couple different one peice shafts made and they didn't want to reuse my old yokes. One peice is definitly the way to go to cure the vibrations.
