Welcome Logan, this is a great place to start
There are quite a few mods to do with little money, CCV, 6637, muffler delete, FPR shimming ect.
Build up that bank acct. and we will help you spend it.
Edit: reread your post. Best place to spend intake, exhaust or at least muffler delete, gauges, then a chip.

thanks
thanks allot guys. I've been reading about the 6637 mod. my question is how exactly does it replace your air filter. I have the stock air filter system with a K&N air filter inside it. I was just wondering whicch would be better

You better keep that K&N filter oiled well or the turbo will suck it dry allowing dirt to pass through and dust your turbo wheel. The first thing you should do is get rid of the K&N and do the 6637. Probaly cost less then one of those small stock replacement K&Ns. Trust me, this should be your FIRST mod.

what everbody above said......and also consider changing over to synthetic oil, it's muuuuch better for the truck! And clean out that EBPS valve (exhaust back pressure sensor) that should help out your mpg's a bit. Welcome to FTE!

What everyone else said. muffler delete is pretty cheap and will give you a little more performance. Ditch the K&N before you have to replace turbos too. The 6637 is by far better than K&N. Other cheap mods CCV mod will reduce intake restriction.

Don't think I would even take my truck to church today with a K & N air filter.

You can get one at NAPA for around $40.00 or FleetFilter.com for, I think, around $26.00-$30.00 all it is is the filter.

you can go to NAPA and get the 6637 for $45-50 bucks, or FleetFilter.com and look up the 46637 for $28.29 plus shipping, same filter. It only includes the filter itself, you'll probably wanna go with a small piece of 4" exhaust pipe, or PVC to attach it securely to your intake tube.
