    Ditch the 4.8 for an aluminum 6.0 and you will gain power while losing weight.

    btw completely off topic, but for some reason your Sierra looks like a Colorado in your sig. I suppose it's a combination of lighting and the angle. Useless subject, sorry

    to me it seems that weight distribution is more vital than total weight reduction. Losing weight is a great thing, but taking it from the rear of the truck may be more detrimental for getting any traction. Just my opinion.....
