First off i'd like to say how great of a site this is and how well it is put together and managed. I cant believe how much experience and knowledge is availabel on this site. Now on to my question. I would like to know what i can do to my 2002 2500HD Crew CAb SB 2WD to pick up some HP and some torque. It has the 8.1 gas motor and the Allison transmission along with the 4.10 rear end. I haul a car trailer and a fifth wheel with it. The 5th wheel is the bigger of the two at 32' long and around 13,000#. I would like to be able to get a little better MPG and maybe some more torque and HP if possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Until i can afford to trade this one in on a 3500 D/A 4WD I will need all the help I can get. Thanks for your time, Marc
