Thumbs up Warranty is over - what to modify?
I know this will open up a huge can of worms but what would you guys do first to your 2005 6.0 once the warranty ended? I do have custom wheels already and run a Bullydog. Each week I drive to Northern Minnesota for work which is a 4 hour trip. Truck needs to be able to pull a 20' trailer often and can't be customized to the point where my business customers grab there kids when I drive up. Oh, I'm 48 years young!

Get an exhaust then like a-rod said a sct tune and then definitly I would do the egr delete pipe, that will save you headaches down the road and make the truck perform alittle better. Then I would do the head studs from ARP.

Head studs, SCT custom tuning, gauges to keep an eye on things, EGR delete and exhaust of your choice. I have the Magna Flow stainless and I am older than you....

Now I don't feel so bad putting stacks on my lifted CC, I'll turn 40 next month and I was wondering if I am getting too old to be doing stuff like this. Obviusly NOT!

My thoughts too.
It may be boring but as you get older you appreciate boring more and more.
