What stage? How are you liking the tune?

Thanks for the input and comment on my son. As for modifications, next on the list is likely Eibachs up front to level things out a bit. I really like the look of the stock beadlocks.

Stage 1 with TCM. Absolutely loving it! Super responsive and smooth power throughout the rev range, and the smooth shifting is probably the best part. Maintaining traction in 2WD mode is a challenge. If I want to get on it from a standing start, I shift to 4A. Sport mode is ridiculous!

Sounds like you got a handle on launching. It’s tough to hookup a stock truck in 2WD. Sport offers great launches out of the hole. Almost stupid how they just get up and go. Soon you’ll think about stage 2 lol.

Given that stage 2 requires some hardware, and I want to try to keep my warranty, I'll likely stay Stage 1 for quite some time. You never know though!

The other mod on my radar is the AFE 2FG H-pipe replacement of the mid-muffler.
