All you need to do is DPF/EGR/cooler delete, exhaust, and either the Smarty or XRT programer. The truck will feel like a new animal and get 5 more MPGs. Call James at Rollin Smoke Diesel, he will hook you up.

You need to find out what the build date of the truck is..... If it's after the first of march the only thing you can do is dpf delete/ unplug egr and possibly a edge box.
If it is a march-current09 truck then you have a locked ECM, thus your screwed!! If that's the case join ghe club!! Hopefully you have a pre-march build!!

Considering the money you have and what you intend to do with the truck, you should probably think about a wastegate and head studs.

ide do a smarty s67 and a five inch turbo back then studs if you lift it you can do a leveling kit and fit 35s looks good
Im not doubting you but IF you REALLY DO have this amount to work with then,,, Do alot of reading on here and other forums so you get an idea on what you will need. There are alot of little expensive things that alot of us do that you will most likely skip right over. Make sure you research tons of threads so you wont look back and say,, why didnt i do this or why did i buy this....blah blah blah

Twin turbo setup, ARP625's, dual CP3's, 90 or 120hp injectors, different cam and springs, fire ring, upgraded intercooler, suncoast race transmission, Air Dog or FASS fuel system, 5" turbo back, EGR delete, upgraded intake horn and you'd be in the 800-900 hp range. If you want to go farther in the power department, you'll need different rods as you'll put them through the block around 1000hp.
thank you thats all i asked for

If I was going to spend 33k on a 50k truck????? Why not just find a "diesel performance" shop with a Bullydog or Banks banner hanging on the front and just give him the truck and the money. Just tell him make it the "baddest truck in town". That's what I would do.
