Planning ahead

Howdy Yall

Still truck shopping, but starting to plan ahead for what to add to whatever truck I end up finding. I'm not looking for horsepower mods right how, but rather things to increase the lifespan of stock components on the truck. I'm already planning on a coolant filter, and thermostat and housing from dieselsite. I'm interested to hear opinions on synthetic oil and oil bypass filters. Also, other things I should think about adding/doing to the truck within the first month or so of ownership (air filter mod, etc...)? Thanks from a PSD and FTE newbie.

Dude, You are about to get a major case of PMS, Once you know what that is then ask all the questions you want. I did and I am not cured yet.

Good luck, lol
