First Mod
Did my first mod last night after getting home from work, installed the Zoodad! Takes longer to measure everything out than to actually do the mod. Haven't seen much difference yet, but going to do the foil delete this coming weekend. Ordering the S&B this Friday as well so on my way!

The intake and exhaust will do the most for your trucks health and the tuner will give you most of what youll "feel" for under 1000$

I want to do the intake, exhaust and gauges before the tuner, to make sure the truck is ready for it and I can monitor what is going on.

OK, Just pulled the trigger on being a supporter yesterday. Had them change my User ID while at it to something less personal! With all the help I have had already, once I get "knee deep" in it, I will need more still. Then I can throw my own "horror stories" out there for others:

You won't see much of a difference with the zoodad, but it's obvious that you are letting more air in to the intake by doing the mod. Good job.

I've seen other's have problems. Did you use PayPal? I used that, and before I could even get logged back in the badge was there.

Started with the 1 year since I was changing the User ID at the same time, less to lose if it went bad.
