Mine has almost 238000 on it and I stacked an EZ with a Hypertech max energy and had no problems. I think you will be ok, now go have some fun If your truck has any problems more power might expose them but i dont think it will cause anything to go unless u get crazy, Thats just my .02

id just start off with some rv275 injectors...with that many miles the oem's are bound to be a little snoted up, cheaper then an edge ez, but not nearly as easy to install, kinda kill 2 birds with 1 stone tho with the injectors.

I've had a chip and propane since 36,001mi. At 330,000 it got an edge juice and 275 injectors. No problems so far at 345,000.

My 01 had around 245,000 miles when I bought it. Totally stock. It just turned over 270,000 miles and now has 125 soon to be 200 horse injectors adrenaline and twin turbos. I hold it to 55lbs. of boost or less. Doesn't use any oil and seems as tight as my 97,000 mile motor in the 02.
This truck was driven as a car before I got it. No fifth wheel ball and the receiver had never had a hitch in it.

I'm coming up real fast on 300,000 and my truck has been modded since day one, I think it had a 100 miles on it when it got BOMBED.

Go for it, even if it is a little tired, you will notice a difference.
