Unfortunately I can tell you that it is not the easiest plan to stick to! I have atleast once a day said screw it, order it!! Deal with the other stuff later. Then I come back.

Hmmmm then a money pit it is....Ahh well....Guess I better save up my pennies...and lock the kid in the closet to keep her from getting into anymore trouble. I think I sent her lawyer to Hawaii for vacation twice this year. Ugh!
OK...So I have the cost for the tuner and the exhaust...what am I looking at for a 3 gauge pillar pod...and how much of a PITA is it to install?

Ps. I have a 11.5K fiver that gets towed a good bit, + 50K miles were logged toting campers during the rebuilding of Louisianna after Katrina, and Rita. I am not afraid to mash the go pedal when a the urge hits. the tranny has held up great, the DP will give it enough power to slip the TC in the 120Race setting, so, all things in moderation.

Gauges and tuner.
I bought the DiPricol Optix pyro, boost and trans temp.. I looked and looked and found a company called GOS performance. They sell these guages out the door with the mount prepainted and the shipping included. Total price was 345.00 I finished hooking every thing up in about 4 hours total. I got fixed up with the latest Black dial with the gunmetal bezel with the white led lighting. Looks great and real easy to read at night. Still having fun with the tuner. I have not driven much and need to get her out on the freeway to see what she will do. I have to be careful out here as if anyone see's smoke they just call the DMV and report it. Then I have to go to the DMV and PROVE that it is not smoking. (Back to stock setting)
So at this time I still say WOW!

OBTW, if you have horses, then you have to haul them with the truck. RIGHT?
now you will be making it easier for the truck to haul 10 horses. Just tell mamma that you need a HUGE new slant with living quarters up front
