Hi,
Bought the truck 2 weeks ago (original owner bone stock 200k hiway miles). My goal is mileage and longivity. It will occasionally pull a 2 horse trailer on mostly flatlands. It was a grandpa ride and will continue to be so. Just looking for fuel mileage and more zip at low end. After reading (lots of threads), here is what I'm thinking (please comment/input).
-KDP (owner didn't know anything about this)
4" exhaust turbo back with 4" muffler and "modified" cat.
-Either BHAF or swiss cheese the stock air box (sounds like both for my applications will provide similar results
-Remove fuel plate and slide AFC full forward tuning star wheel for minimal black smoke (sounds like no fuel plate vs #5 plate for my purpose will make little/no difference as my foot will not be in in (deep nor often)
-bump timing to 16 degrees
-new diesel fuel lines and fuel filter
-Power heated towing mirrors
Let me know what you think-This place is AWESOME
