Improvement:
-Remove the "cold air" intake & replace it with the stock unit. Those things are nothing but trouble.
-You can buy the entire CAT-back in one unit from the dealer for about $130 (excluding CAT), plus the cost of any hardware you need. Works great & lasts for years. If no emission testing in your area, gut the CAT & you'll open up the exhaust as well as getting a nice sound; not too loud, just a tiny bit of "bark"~
-Make sure the truck is in a good state of tune & no vacuum hoses are missing/leaking & that all electrical contact points are clean (ESPECIALLY the major grounds (engine to frame, frame to body, etc.). Remove them & clean well, then treat with DeOxit & tighten securely. This includes battery contacts.
-Check for any stored engine codes.
