    Well you could go to an autoparts store and get it. But this is a good resource for looking up parts:

    I'm looking to run the setup you had originally with 4.88, LCE headers, and drop in AFE filter, only I will have 31.6" tires on a 3rd gen auto. In your opinion, if I was to go with this setup and add the URD SC to make a well rounded truck, versatile and capable of efficiency and power. Do you think I'm on the right track?I realize you decided to go a little more extreme, but in your opinion do you think I will be happy with my truck that way as a daily driver, coming from your experience with it being similar at one time?

    I think you'll be very happy with that setup, even without the SC. 4.88s really make a big difference on these 4 bangers! I will say the URD sc helps a lot for daily driving. The blower really wakes up above 3k rpms but even below that, i noticed a big improvement in drivability

    Does the piggyback ECU that URD offers with they're SC kit allow you to set parameters like a tune from OVtune?

    Yes ive always had the 5spd manual

    On the 2nd gen URD SC, yes you can set the parameters on the mapecu3 but they send a tune with the kit to get you started. However, i am not familiar with the tuning solution URD uses for the 3rd gen SC. Might be worth talking to Gadget@URD about that.

    4.88s will be very over-geared for tires smaller than a 33" 255 or 285. I ran my 245/75 after re-gear for a while, there's a reason they're in the garage and my 255 KM2s are balding.

    I am manual, however, ymmv.

    This is a good point. I am running 5.29s and 33s and it is a bit overgeared, but it feels more like a truck now which i do like. Idk what kind of gears the 3rd gen 4 bangers come with, so that'd be something to take into consideration as well.

    I did run 4.88s with my 33s for a while and it was perfect imo, so you're right, anything less than 33s and its gonna be a little overgeared

    4.88's with 33's and an AT is barely enough gear. Sometimes it's not enough.

    Yeah that's a good thing to note too, autos could definitely use some more gear since they have 1 less in the trans.

    And the final overdrive is higher (0.705 vs 0.81).
