rofl........
a 50k truck on 15 bux an hour?
might sound like an ***, and sorry for that..however, you cannot afford a truck like that on that little wage. hell, even if you are freeloading off your parents, the payment, insurance, and fuel costs would leave if you wearing sox and uderwear only.
how about this, move out of your parents house, and sell that truck, you cannot afford it if your carrying your own weight.
once you get that kickass job (and who discusses salary with an intern?) go crazy...............but, BUY A HOUSE FIRST.
good luck to ya!

Jeez... Give the kid a break. He just ask a question. 
Some of the people on this thread told him to "Save his money" and "Invest it". If I am mistaken, he doesn't want financial advice. He wants to know what he can put on his truck for $5K. I don't think that we need to get into his life story, or financial situation... Or even age, for that matter. This is suppose to be a fun place to post, not school.
Super, I had about the same amount of money left over when I bought my PSD. I spent many a night looking through magazines and browsing forums like this one. What I came up with is this:
1. A tuner (SCT is good. I went with Banks)
2. An exhaust (I went with the 4" Turbo back -BullyDog)
3. Intake (I went with the AFE Stage 2 with Proguard 7)
4. Gauges (I'll use the PDA supplied with the Banks 6-gun)
That should put you up around $3500 or so with labor. Hey, you could use the rest to replace the suck-*** stereo that Ford installed!

Since my last post.. I have read some of SuperLB51's comments on other threads. To say the least it is disappointing. For someone that has a bright future in front of them (so he says), the professionalism is lacking.
I have noticed this person was banned. Apparently, WOW6.0L, you have changed your screen-name and think you can post hear again. If I were you, I would hang tight for a few weeks until your suspension is up. (If you weren't banned indefinitely). Take a breather and come back with an open mind. Coming in the back door with a new name will get you no respect here. I stuck up for you once. And I will stick up for anyone on this board that has been wronged. Because I was that age once, and I had nice things that people were jealous of. But, do not take this humanistic trait as ignorance. Be a man and do what is right. Let things cool down for a while and start a clean slate later.

Just as an FYI: The only reason this thread was resurrected was to prove a point.
Not to generate advice.
The point was well taken and, thankfully, Tim has handled the situation appropriately.
Thanks Tim.
