consider a better flowing exhaust ,and a good flowing intake set up .consider a mail order tune .what are you local emission laws ?a intake from fast will add some power ,they make a good one for trucks .

Those hand held programmers arent that great, but are better than nothing at all. A mail order tune is definitely best route to go if you are looking for a tune...unfortunately if your truck is your daily driver it will be dead in the water until the ECM comes back.

Headers, cat back, intake and tune would be a good start as far as bolt ons...that way you have the building blocks for a cam swap if you choose to go that route down the road.
