Blackbear or similar tune. Regear the differential. Tune up the engine (if haven't already done so). Not sure what all you're looking for so not sure what to suggest otherwise.

+1. You need to let us know what you have already as for any mods you may already have etc and what the truck is sitting with as for intake, exhaust etc.

Typical mods are

CIA

Exhaust

Tune

Do the bolt on's first. Intake, exhaust, ported throttle body, trans kits etc. Then get it tuned by Blackbear or the like. Should definitely wake that puppy up.

and do you think that it would be better as far as performance to port my stock throttle body or buy a ported throttle body

TuneCustom Tunes Generally Cost Less Than Buying A Box Tune. About 200-400$. Just Depends On Who Is Doing The Tune. Getting Your TB Port And Polish Will Only See Small Gains. 5-10 HP Usually. YOu Never Answered My Question. What Are Your Plans With The Truck?

i just wanna make it fast as i can

That statement is extremeley broad. That being said, motor swap to an lsx engine with twin turbo's would get you moving quick! Really, whats your budget and how far are you really willing to go?

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
