Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Engine timing

[JCyrbok]

I read in a few thread that if you bump your timing a bit that you can get better mileage. Is this true?



If so, how do you tell what truck is timed at currently and how do u advance the timing on our trucks? Is it something that I could do. I'm pretty good with mechanical stuff and can read directions and have most every hand tool made!



If this is a Stealer only type job what would I tell them to do? Would they void my warranty because " I just want more performance!" ( thats what they would think its for).



Also is there any negative drawback to bumping the timing. I want a balance between mileage and longevity. I'm only 30 and plan on this being my last vehicle ( and no I'm not dying soon,LOL).



Thanks for any input, good or bad.



J-

the timing on the 24v trucks are done electronicly



If you purchase an EZ or Comp or VA the timing change is in the boxes program.



timing is manually adjustable on the 12v trucks
