Re: My new '11
I got mine last February and had to lower it to make it so the wife could get in it. 5.3, with 3.42 gears and posi. I have done a few other things under the hood and changed out the elephant ear mirrors for ones from Street Scene.

Re: My new '11
I went with the K&N FIPK setup on the air intake. Simple and easy to install. I haven't really driven my truck at sustained speeds around 55 MPH much, but when I have, the fuel usage computer shows high numbers. I run the highways around my area at 75 to 80 MPH (speed limit is 75 MPH) and I get 19 to 20 MPG at those speeds. When I lowered my truck, I also traded my 275/55/20 tires that came with it for a set of 265/50/20 tires to get a little more wheel well space. That changed the RPMs slightly, but not much. I got into the tires with the cost of the mounting labor.
I had changed my exhaust to a Magnaflow 3" inlet to dual 2 1/2" pipe outlets. Those pipes run to the rear and are tucked tight to the rear bumper with MEGS oval exhaust tips. The addition of the headers got rid of the resonator under the cab, so now the exhaust is real throaty and the noise in the cab is minimal (except under hard acceleration)
