My SD is going in to have the HG & ARP studs done. Is there anything else I should think about having done while the cab is off??

Looking back.... I would have replaced the torque converter with an aftermarket unit, probably a Suncoast though there's other options... you'll never have easy access like that again! The dealer shouldn't care since it's not emissions related. Seriously consider it since it's just soooo difficult to get at the T/C later. I really regret not changing the T/C at that time.

Further ideers:
  • A/M turbo downpipe
  • Sneaky pipe w/EGR bypass
  • Crossover fuel lines (check Spartan for these)
  • Make sure they check the heads and block deck for flatness (ask 'em!)
Stop by the service dept. while the cab is lifted, it's just amazing how accessible everything really is on the engine and transmission at that time.
