Where to begin?

I own a 1999 PSD with 250K on it. The truck has done me good thru the years but now its time for some upgrades. Where should I start the upgrades. No major engine or tranny work was ever done, just routine maint.

Looking for items to change and places with good prices to purchase at.

Any and all information appreciated.

Welcome. Start at the top of the page with the common mods and take it from there. 250k is impressive. Had any problems yet? Most start with air intake and fuel system mods. Then get gauges and exhaust in preparation for chips or tuners.

Poke around here a bit, well, there's days/weeks of poking around, then when you get ready to go shopping, ask ?s and check out the site sponsors.

250k is good stuff on a stock truck with no probs if that's the case. You wouldn't ever want to drive the truck stock again after some mods and a chip. I know I hate my truck in the stock setting on my chip. Just use it for warmup or troubleshooting now.

Enjoy.
