I have the same year truck and I had a lot of pre-trubo leaks before I broke out the Buck$Zooka. Everything in my signature is a link and you can see what I did to mine to get fuel economy when I drive sane - plus you can see what happens when I exercise my right foot on a steep grade.

Welcome to FTE. If you want to know, just ask, and you'll typically get several answers within hours... sometimes even within minutes of posting your question or issue.

Also, you HAVE to know and be prepared for the fact that no one here will believe anything you say unless you provide pictures to prove it!!

We all LOVE pictures!!

Few things I would add to the list:

1. Upgrade your transmission cooler. The 6.0 cooler is a popular upgrade.
2. In tank mods http://www.guzzle7pt3.com/hutch.php
3. Fuel rail crossover from Riffraff: http://www.riffraffdiesel.com/mm5/me...ode=F731-FS-RR

So, if I plan on upgrading my turbo to a 38r... I won't need bellowed up pipes or what? Or will I just need to replace the bellowed up pipes w something different when I upgrade my turbo?

A 38R uses the same thing as the stock turbo. It's if you go bigger than that you will need different up pipes.

Yes, much easier to install the up-pipes with the turbo out.

This is going to be the best price. Most of us use Clay for our parts. Give him a call. Riffraff Diesel Performance Parts: Diesel Exhaust Parts | International Bellowed Up-pipes | Diesel Up-pipes - International Bellowed Up-pipes
