So....cheer me up. I bought my truck 2 years ago and 50k miles ago. Im at 193k now. Ever since the day Ive owned it its had a bad injector pump. 2 weekends ago My brother and I fixed it. For 2 years of my life I drove it around with about a 1/4 of the power it should have, getting picked on by all the Pjoke guys and ricers. So needless to say, with the problem fixed, I turned the PPE up to lvl 5 and relieved some long awaited stress. Its just a totally different beast. But before I go throwing more money into a tranny and such, how many miles do some of you guys got on your trucks with some decent tunes? I have the hot+2 so its not as hardcore as some fellas with efi live tunes, but its still fairly ballsy. I just feel like Im going to break something everytime I get on it. So my question to you is should I keep throwing the money at it or keep the power out of it, with that many miles?...Hell, its just getting broke in right?!?

Ive asked myself that one thousand times. Still keep throwing cash at it. New injectors at 198,000. Now at 215 they are bad again. 3/8. Since January the truck has cost me 8 grand. Basically since cracking 200k it has eat my lunch. So Im gettin Extrude Honed injectors for more hp and efficiency. Then water meth. Then.....then......it doesnt end.

Right I figure the same things gonna happen to me. Im about to turn 22 and I have a terrible job. I figure once I drop the money for the trans Ill be close to 200k then my squirters will take a dump and Ill have to buy a new set.

Spend the money on the tranny. My tranny went into limp mode from the regular PPE tuner.
