Ive got the 4.8 in my 06 Sierra. Had 3.23 gear ratio changed out to 4.10 and went to 265 tires from 245. My speddometer was way off. But with this i was able to change vehicle settings for changes i made. It tells me im averaging about 17mpg. Thats up from between 14-15 befor the changes ive made. Not too sure how acurate it is tho because my speedo and odometer seem to still be off a bit. Oh, also be nice to know, for my GM vehicle i have to pull 5 fuses under the dash and 4 more uner the hood for changing the vehicle program settings. Kind of a pain but not really all that hard.

The hardest part of the install on my '06 Avalnache was finding a circuit that was always HOT. Other than that the install is straight forward. I can't say that it will improve the sound of your truck - I dualed my exhaiust to acomplish that, but I can tell you about improved fulel economy, I avergage close to 22 mpg hi-way and I don;t baby the pedal.

I like it for ability to read the trucks functions. I do notice the diffreance in the shift points but not a hole lot for extra power.Instillation was some what technical, have to use your home computer to get it ready.overall its nice and useful, if i would buy another one id say maybe.Installed on a 2005 Escalade with 6.0 motor, Mileage 18 highway and 13-15 in town.I don't know what others are doing to get 20 mpg + This is my wife's daily driver, she drives it nicer then i do and she cant get better than 12 mpg this winter with it in town

Yes takes about 20 minutes, idk about your truck. I've had it on two F150s.

I was unimpressed by it, honestly. You would definitely have better sound by purchasing a cheap Pioneer or Sony 6 or 8" subwoofer from walmart and building a custom box (1/2" MDF optimal)...cheaper and only takes ~1 hour max (added time for sealant to dry); this is what I did for the 12" subwoofers in my truck and the 8" subwoofer I have for my living room stereo. So I say don't go for it unless you have "loose" wooden floors and a good enclosed corner to place the main unit so that the acoustics of the subwoofer will be 'naturally' amplified.

Wish I could help you but I have an 03 Silverado. Love mine, easy to install and seems well built. My suggestion get the model # and e-mail Reese Good luck.

I put it on a 2000 Silverado reg cab. best bet would be to download both installation instructions and compare them. I believe they are on permance's website.I used two jacks and two pieces of 2x4. Did it by myself just took a little longer.

The power increase is good. The sound is okay not really loud. About the same as stock but throaty. Never really noticed a huge difference in fuel mileage. Get 18.5 on the freeway with the intake and exhaust but we have bigger tires installed than stock. Big difference when accelerating while pulling a trailer. Worth the money if you want some more of oomph over stock power.

This will be a big improvement over your factory speakers, especially factory speakers in Honda's from anyone I have spoke to. I added a JVC head unit to my 2001 Chevy Silverado and it also made these speakers sound absolutely amazing. My 16 year old son who has a very nice sound system in his car was also envious of my system and the Infinity speakers. he couldn't believe how clear they sounded

I understand why you would have the amp turned down but........correct power wire will give clean signal to your subs which is more important than keeping your gains down.......so to answer your question buddy, it is OK but we don't agree with ok.....we need 0ga in that vehicle.......also look into getting an upgraded alternator "only if you plan on keeping the vehicle. ......, phill

I have this on my 2003 Silverado. Gives a good deep sound at idle and it drones a little down the road but definitely not overly loud. But my outlet on my truck is 2.75" and the inlet to the muffler is 3". Just a little sledge hammer modifications and some good welding and it'll be just fine!

Get a seperate amp. If my stock one was a 2/10, after speakers and a head unit id rate it a 4/10. But the amp jumped it to 8.5/10. AMP is a HUGE difference

I would get more wire (they don't supply enough) also different connectors. . (Butt, male and female connectors. .heat shrink style if possible) ...I didn't connect to my truck horn, I installed a separate switch..It's not too difficult. .Takes some time but is fairly simple. .The difficulty is mainly based on how you want your setup to be.

Its basically like having ur truck straight piped.. have it on my dodge with 318 magnum and its pretty loud but sounds good

I personally would look online (Google search speaker size for that truck) then I would call the dealer to do a comparison check (better safe than sorry if unsure) and happy shopping after that!!!! P.S. Awesome speakers and I have an El' Cheapo deck in my 00 durango. Any quality deck and amp and you'll be fine.

Hi Eric,I will certainly recomend a seperate amp to power this sub. I tried bridging speakers and adding the sub. It just drew to much from one amp. The amp was getting to hot and shutting down. I chose to go with the Kenwood KAC-5206. This sub sits behind the passengers seat in a 97 Ford Ranger. And man this thing THUMPS!

These bracket work great for my silverado. You have to line it all up just right and drill holes into your truck but it is worth it! It comes with cheese instructions but easy enough to follow. I bought my own bolts and upgraded it a little bit. I off road a lot! 5days a week. After about 40mph I noticed the 2nd fin from the bottom of 50" light bar made a high pitch noise from it viberating like a tuneing fork. I glued two rubber shimms in the back of all the fins, which fixed it right up. Over all... This set up makes night turn into day and makes a world of a difference! Night operations are great! Some friends say I look like a UFO cruising through the mounthian. lol These bracket work great for my silverado.

Yes. I have a 2011 Silverado W/T. EZ install process took me 10 minutes and that was 3 years ago. It still works great today. Definitely worth it for the price.

What exactly are you looking for? But either way, it'll work. Just make sure you hook up everything correctly and don't push to much power to it. I've already blown one of them in my truck.
