A friend just bought 2008 1/2 ton 4 door pickup. 4.8 engine, 2WD. 20,000 original miles. runs good, but gets 17 MPG.

Just wonder if the aftermarket makes a tuner or chip upgrade to change engine parameters, for more power and/or better MPG?

I see all kinds of things done to LS engines, very seldom see someine do something minor to a stock engine.

I work on late model stuff that's stock. Of course most of the work is changing oil, tires and batteries, since they're Chevrolets

Thanks in advance!
