and firstly i am surprised how much better the stock engine is on my new truck than my old one! but yeah if it costs too much money ill just upgrade to a ct or cts those are pretty nice! and ill stick with regular tunes for now since i havent done anything yet, what do you all recommend for upgrades? im planning on the gotts mod or equivalent, and then i dont know what. I am wondering if doing the exhaust, or pulleys, or electric fans(if needed, haha i really dont know the truck yet). thanks again!

Probably, your tires are not "treadwear rated". Too bad you can't figure out (or maybe you can if there's a receipt for the tires) how much tread has been lost on each set vs miles driven. If you knew the mileage on each truck when the last tire change occurred, that's all you need.

My personal opinion is that exhaust mods are mostly for "sound". If you get long tube headers, "X" pipe or "H" pipe configurations, you get some power increases, but that's about it. The Gotts style mod is a good one, in my book. E-fans and Underdrive pulleys are also a way to get more power delivered to the wheels.
