Pick yourself up a 180* T-stat and you'll have the best of both worlds (reduced pinging, lower temps and the engine/computer is still happy). Not trying to hijack this thread, so I recommend this el-cheapo mod for both Fleck and DFracing.

Oh, and to DFracing... I'm going to give you a link and I want you to search high and low through it because its concerning ONLY our 3.0L V6 and the mods that can be done first hand to our 3.0L V6.

I had the same problem, a no power 3.0
Here is a thread with what I did to fix the problem and what I paid. My 3.0 was a dog. Comparatively now, it is a rocket. I have no issues pulling my trailer and without the trailer the thing flies. It throws me back in the seat, (just a little). It is not a 5.0, but compared to what I had, it flies.
I was having trouble getting the RPM's out of it, now I have no problems.
The major helps were: fuel filter, cat, cat back, Seafoam, and Walmart Gumout treatment. I have seen plenty of people laugh at that last one, but I know what it did within the first tank. (I went out to pick up something at 7-11 at midnight, I drove it around until around 3:00AM because I was so shocked by the difference. It was like a new truck.) If you do not have that problem, it will fix nothing, but my truck runs better now at 145K than it did at 66K when I got it due to the things I did.
My truck specs are on the other site. I have 4.10 gears, 30X9.50 tires, about a 3.93 final ratio.

Sorry Fleck, but that kinda cracks me up.
Not to be a dick, but that's funny!

I had a grind problem, i think it was a 2 to 3 shift. There was a factory service bullitin for that. I took it the dealership and the added a sevice kit to fix it.
