Best first mod......

I have a bone stock 2000 2wd ex 7.3L and i itching to do some low scale mods. At the moment i am pretty short on cash so a new turbo, nitro and adding a chip are a bit out of reach for me

Do you guys have any suggestions?

I wanted to upgrade the old tired lights...but i think i read something about a sensor that is blocking part of the turbo intake...perhaps i should take that on?

Maybe one of those vornado intake vortexers

I would disconnect the key dinger, add the tubing in the door seals and turn off auto locks. All these are free but make a difference in daily use.
