DIY upgrades

Being new to all of this I am looking for any of the DIY type of fixed or up grades I would love to see and hear about some of diy mods that everyone else has done on their rigs. I am also wondering if anyone has any experience with the Quadzilla Vizion wireless monitor? I have been reading about it and I really like the set up. Any advice on that one?

Mark

Welcome Mark. Yeah what he said.

I hope you brought a lunch, there are very knowledgable folks here. There are a few threads on this if you try a search I think.

Sorry guys, I guess I should have included some info on my truck in my first post. It was late when I posted and I think I may have actually fell asleep halfway through woke up and finished...Anyway, My um project I guess you could say is a 99 F-350 7.3L Lariat CC LB. Other than a chip, exhaust, lift, and a couple of body mods the rest is pretty much stock. Judging by the way it shifts I am slightly suspicious that the previous owner may have had something done to the transmission. I don't have any proof of that one though. The guy I got it from was an absolute idiot and half-a$$ed most of the things he did to it. I am in the process of fixing those now and I am just about there. That's pretty much the run down on my truck. While I'm not new to wrenching I am new to diesel, Learned a lot so far but I am definitely looking forward to some good advice from some knowledgeable folks. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Mark
