    Happy New Year, Guyz!

    excited to find an actual TRUCK website and maybe learn something different.
    I'm in the HVAC/R trade and recently picked up a '04 1 ton Chevy panel van with the LQ4 6L engine. What a beast this thing is compared to other vans I've used over the years. I carry EVERYTHING in this truck to do my job and it'II still kick serious aSS. I'm totally amazed!! The fuel economy could be better but I can live with that for what I get out of the truck.
    Anyways, I hope I'm not in the wrong place asking questions. I'm leaning towards trying to open up the air intake and possibly a pcm "tune". ( things I've already done with many LT1 equipped B-Body's I own)
    ANY related stories or information would definetly be welcomed and appreciated.
    Thanks for now,

    Roy

    Welcome. You've come to the right place to get more performance and better fuel mileage out of that PCM. Contact Allen, Farmtruc, at NelsonPerformance.com and he can get a tune out to you that will really wake the beast up and save you a few dollar at the pump.
