mods
What do you consider to be the best mod that you have done to your truck? I am pretty much just getting started but I can see the list of things I would like to do getting longer every day. I just ordered my Dp tuner yesterday (merry christmas to me) to replace the superchips I already have.....I can't believe I paid as much for that as the Dp..........but at the time I didn't know any better!

I loved doing the 4" exhaust and itake, really livened up my truck. I love installing gauges too. i have autometers ultra-lights, boost, pyro, trans temp, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, volt gauge and outside temp for telltak.

Gauges are nessasary and cool looking, but not the best mod for the truck they are supporting mods
. I think the fuel mods would be the next best mod (reg return, intank etc). I would be doing those next, but I need a turbo.

All I have is 4" so far, but it really helped it get up and go like a gasser off the line. Dont settle for 4" stainless that costs over $400. If you do you shopping you will find something MBRP/Silverline for $400 to your door. Try the ebay OBO's. Or get the Pinnacle Power that is a nice looking system.

By far, the "low hanging fruit" is an intake, exhaust, gauges, and the DP Tuner. I did those along with the CCV mod first (due to excellent advice here) and it's like driving a whole different truck. Do those first, then the in-tank mods. You might want to do the tranny mods up front as well (TransGo kit or BTS or similar VB, etc.), that way when when you get your DP, Jody can configure it for the updates.
After those the rest is much less dramatic -- some are for smoother idle, quieter injectors, convenience, etc... You can research all that here. My $0.02.

If ircc, don't our trucks come stock with a 3.5" exhaust, besides the downpipe?

4" or 5" that is your call. Do you want performance or deep sound? Your call.
