weither or not to lift it is up to you. an if you have 25k to spend in mods they the shy is the limit basically.....

what will the truck be used for an what are your goals?

 

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.

 

the truck will be used in truck pulls and an everyday driver and towing a 30 foot enclosed trailer often....but i would like to get high hp and tq out of it

 

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!!

 

if he has 25k to spend i dont think a locked ecm will be a problem many ways around that

 

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

 

and no doubt throw in a suncoast race tranny, if you have an auto that is...

 

25k is alot, you could really build a beast if thats how much you really wanna spend

 

i recently just bought a 2009 2500 mega cab 6.7 i did have a 2006 2500 mega cab 5.9 so i am new to the 6.7 world i have about 25000.00 to spend on performance and about 8000.00 to spend on a lift and rims and tires...idk if i should put a lift on becuase i do truck pulls but i do like the look of a truck that is lifted..so i was wondering if you guys could help me in what performance parts i should do to get the mos power out of my 6.7 and if i should lift her or not thanks for your help

uhhh......:coocoo

 

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

 

Interesting thread... same poster here:
http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-performance-parts-discussion/231496-2008-5-9-a.html

 

thats a lil odd :confused013:

 

looks like its time to go to the pulls and make friends. I'm sure they will help you. I would not tell people you have $ $K to spend. jeff may make you a sign ....

Good Luck.

 

sry for askin for ur guys help didnt know there was ppl on here like you guys

 

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.

 

becuase there isnt one close to being around here

 

So which truck do you have?

 

i have an 2006 dodge mega cab i was planning on getting an 09 but not if i can get more power out of my 5.9

 

he could just buy a pre bootloader ecm

 

And have the dealer vin match it to the truck?

 

yea that or alot of programmers can set the VIN into it

 

for that kinda money he can get a 5.9 ecm and have it completly costom built and make a monster of a truck with none of the head aches the sky is the limit i wish i had that kinda dough to spend on my truck holly crap:drool2:

 

if you buy a pre bootloaded ecm HS has starscans and whatever else but they can match it all to your truck NOT A PROBLEM!!

I definetly would go with the 6.7 if you want to build it up, to me look how many 5.9s are built id like something new and different basically any one with a 5.9 will say oh F the 6.7 and any 6.7 guy for most part say F the 5.9....They both sweet thats for sure but Iam totally glad i got a 6.7!!!!

 

Where is the best place to buy a pre bootloaded ecm and HS as in H&S

 

I did see awhile back on ebay going for not too much 400 bucks or so but i havnt seen em since, H&S yes, and sometimes they may have some laying around or have ways to find some that they may sell and trade out... Cause my buddy had one go bad and warrantied it at dealer they gave him a locked ecm so thats what H&S basically told him so i know they can be of assistance

 

even find a junkyard that has a wrecked 6.7

 

Interesting.....

I may try and locate a spare ECM!! In my spare time!! LOL (what spare time).... I guess now is my sudden spare time!!
