    I don't need much more power all the gears are fine just fifth gear is a little weak. Would long headers, throttle body spacer and cold air intake. Work

    Not sure the spacer would do anything for power on a fuel injected setup. ;)

    Long headers (depending on the design) might provide better scavenging but without any forced induction, you probably won't see any significant benefits.

    You could try a CAI and you might get some added horses at the upper range of your RPMs but your gas mileage will dive like a rock just to achieve the extra power.

    Forced induction is gonna give you more power at any altitude but more significantly at higher altitudes compared to all the normal aspirated "add ons". I guess it will come down to how much money you want to put towards more power and how often you will need the extra power. Outside of that, a re-gear won't require the extra horsepower to get you going. ;)

    The last few days the parking brake light has been flashing on and off even if it's off. I'm not sure what to try. It's now to the point to where it says it is always on even if it's not. The light is bugging me please help

    There is a little lever at about the middle of your frame, has a cable running to the back ebrake and a cable running to the front ebrake handle. Spray some wd40 on the lever under your truck..

    You need to check your brake fluid level to make sure it's not too low. ;)

    Another thing you can check is the parking brake switch and wire to make sure it's not worn and grounding out. Not likely but it's possible. I would check the brake fluid level first. ;)

    It's a cable actuated ebrake though, didn't think brake fluid came into play in that case.. I might be wrong though?

    The brake light on the instrument panel is an indicator for the parking brake as well as low brake fluid. ;)
