Don't waste your money on an intake. The stock box works just fine.I was looking at an S&B cai. Will a better muffler help, or do I need to run a true double exhaust? What about a tuner?
You're destroying your engine dude. Broken rings and pistons are in your future. Run 91 or 93 or E85.I typically run 87 through it.
I forgot to add that it is AWD. Is there an automatic ride adjustment on this? I hear something making noises in the back when it is sitting.
What altitude do you live at? If you're anywhere close to sea level, 87 octane is almost certainly your issue. Engine is probably pulling a lot of timing to counter knock. I live at ~5k feet so I can get away with 89 which is mid-range where I live.
This is my first E85 vehicle. I just assumed E85 would be worse for my engine. Is that not really the case? I am contemplating throwing a couple gallons of racing fuel in with the next fill up, just to peak the octane at around 93.You're destroying your engine dude.

Low octane swill is why your high performance, high compression engine is running like crap. No wonder why you blew out your manifolds.
She has air ride shocks out back with a compressor to keep the truck leveled.
if it is the short wheel base you should have slightly more power than mine does simply because of less weight.This is my first E85 vehicle. I just assumed E85 would be worse for my engine.
