Welcome Andy! Looks like you've got a nice litle list of mods going for your truck...don't worry, you've got the sickness too. There is no cure, so go ahead and do a cam, some nice heads, and a FMT. You know you want to...

You need to carefully plan for your cam and supporting mods. Since you are up there in WI and are probably goinig to use your truck for what it is suppose to be used for, then I would stick with a lower/mid range cam. Something like the 065 or the 043. Since it is a lower lift cam for low end power, you don't need pushrods or valve springs, but they are recommended. I would personally go with the 043 since you probably have 3.73 gears. Throw on some Long Tube headers and an off road y-pipe--then you'll be in business...

Thanks for the info, thats why i like this site so much, everyone knows something and its a big help because you cant rely on everything else you read on the internet to be accurate.

Yeah i have 3.73 gears, what brand does everyone like for cams? i was looking into a comp cams package, where it includes everything the rods, ect. If i go with one of those cams, will the super cold weather hurt anything on the motor? i have piston slap now when its cold, but the truck has always done that, i go to school in Minnesota so it gets to be like -20 out for a month or so i hate that part, but once the truck gets warmed up it performs like it always does.

thanks for the help.
