Show me a H2 owner with low profile street tires and I will show you a guy who thinks the coolest way to shoot a Glock is cocked sideways.
Re: 2008/2009 owners..... Premium fuel question??
Im not talking a night/day difference but there is a noticeably better response in the lower RPM along with the trans acting better.
I owned an 06 prior to this 08 and running premium did nothing in that truck so I can see how you may make the "placebo" statement based on the fact that you own a 2005..... there have been past threads here regarding the use of premium in the 2008/2009's due to knock issues, rough idle, low RPM gear hunting and clunking etc....

Re: 2008/2009 owners..... Premium fuel question??
Didn't really seem to matter if I had 87 / 88 / 91 / 92 octane in it, it ran about the same, though on the days I knew I was either offroading and/or going over a pass, I tried to keep higher octane in it merely for a safety factor.
I will say, though, watch your tranny temps! I was pulling a trailer on some days (probably 1.5 ton total weight) over the passes, and even though air temps were as low as 58F, my tranny was hitting 238F !!!!!!
I have the stuff to do the conversion to an external cooler, just ran out of time. BTW - I'm going to write it up as I have figured out a way to do this w/o cutting lines.
