Welcome from another DFW tuxedo Raptor.
As far as keeping it stockish, definitely look at Deavers, even just for on road; it really got rid of the wheel hop especially on wet roads.
Also a catch can, wish I had done it sooner.
And Texas motorworx is a great shop in the area.
I picked up two MPGs going with the stainless works long tubes. I think it was their “stainless power” line. Now I’m about at 13mpg. If I were to do it again I would skip the cold air intake.
Check your vapor canister purge valve. My 2012 had starting issues after filling up, didn’t throw any codes. Swapped it out and the problem was gone. It’s like a $25-50 part, took only a few minutes to do.
For my truck I had a lot of the interior switches need replacing. Door lock switch, turn signal and the steering wheel buttons, also the fuel evap canister.
Granted, I got my 2012 very used when it had over 113,000 miles on it and I am close to 170,000.
While everything is out, it might be a good time to get your lower spark plugs. It was pretty easy to get to with just a couple extensions and swivel adapters. Might put in new wires for the plugs too.
Might do your brakes too
I did my CVs not too long ago. Also did upper control arms and swapped to rebuilt shocks at the same time. Also the spark plugs weren’t too bad with everything out of the way.
I also need to do my inner and outer control rods too. Trying to decide if it’s worth the extra cash to do like the...
So I actually didn’t get a chance to change the the plugs and coils out before the TRR. I did get a tube from 5 star, while I was there. It seemed to smooth things out. I have long tubes, cat back and an intake.
I’ve had my 2012 for about five years or so. I love it, but I think my 2 year old son loves it more. He’s always talking about “daddy’s truck” and if I hit the gas, I hear “more more more” coming from the car seat.
