well for starters 2wd or 4wd, what gears in it currently, and what do you do or want to do with the truck (i.e. offroading, show truck etc)

if you are looking for engine upgrades, you might want to post this question on the big inline six forum. it is a very unique engine when it comes to getting performance out of it.

start with aftermarket high flow cats and a free flowing muffler. (check out exhaust sound thread for clips). headers arent worth it, and once you put them on, you have to remove them to replace the starter. next would be a cam and kit. once you get past that it gets pricey
