Next mod?
I'm thinking about selling my camper shell to get some money to put toward my next mod. I'd appreciate some input from the gurus about which direction to go first. Obviously, funds aren't plentiful, or I'd keep the shell for trips and such. I'm considering (in no particular order):
Stacks (6" mitres)
TW tunes
Gauges (pyro, trans, boost)
DIY stage 1's
I'd really like to hear what you guys think, and why. I'm thinking I should probably get the gauges first, for the sake of my trucks health, but I'd much rather get something a little more awesome, like the stacks, tunes, or sticks. I'm also concerned that with TW or stage 1's, I'll need to upgrade my HPOP (if not more) to keep up. Also, with my bullydog, I can't turn my chip all the way up, or the truck bogs down. Also does this in 2nd pos. at about 3/4 throttle, but clears up if I get into it harder or back off a bit. Would TW tunes fix this, or is there probably another issue? Thanks a ton, guys!

the issue sounds oil or fuel related, we will need more info to figure it out, i havent looked at your other post to see if you addressed my questions on it so i will go re-read it before i start on this one as well.
how much money are you spending at one time? that will depend on what to buy and when.

If there's any other info that would help more, just ask and I'll do my best. The truck has done this since I bought it about a year ago. the guy I bought it from always ran it with the bullydog in 2nd position. I'm wondering if maybe he didn't install it quite right... Lately, it tends to chug & shudder every now and then when I'm at lower rpm (1.2-1.6k). I don't know if that's related to the bogging down or not, but it definitely isn't right...
As for the money, it depends on how much I can get for the shell. I'm going to try craigslist, unless someone here is interested first. I might be able to put some more with it, but not much...

I noticed today that my valve cover harnesses are scorched
pretty bad. would that cause these problems by not getting a good connection to the injector? it's completely disintegrated a couple pins... I plan to fix it, regardless. Time to do glow plugs, too...
