    yeah---not yet--the tires and new exhaust fixed the initial problems I thought the tune up was needed for. Will be doing the tune up shortly--plugs, oil change, filter, and maybe (hopefully) valve cover gaskets (the the oil leak-least I hope that's it) and pvc valve. I know headers, cold air intake kit, and maybe a reprogram would help--but really can't do much or gain much with 4.10 gears I think.

    Big Gewber is right.. Ford put 4.10 in most of their gas burner 3/4 tons as do most other companies.. Toyota notorious for bragging on pulling power but that is where it comes from.. The older diesel models had a 3.55 in em.. Sure wish mine did.. Fuel mileage was near or in 20's
