2 grand...what to do?

03 tx pwr stroke · Feb 6, 2012

Looking to drop around 2 grand on the truck. Thought I had it pretty well figured out, but now I'm not so sure.

Initially I was going to do:

SCT XCal3 from Gearhead
Sinister EGR Delete
5" MBRP stainless turbo back
05 front end upgrade
Fulll HID's and LED's
few other odds and ends that need to be taken care of.

Now I'm questioning a few things. Any thoughts?

Sounds like a list to me man. What are you questioning?

add oil cooler

I'd add an edge insight in there.

Stud it if you haven't yet maybe

Spend it on hookers and booze!!!!!

On a serious note, look into a Diesel site coolant filter bypass kit.

If you're doing a complete 05+ front end, it may take a bigger chunk of that than you think...

not if you get it from certifit :toast: or parts geek

Well, the HID's are getting put on hold for now. The oil cooler and a monitor is what I'm questioning myself on now.

Do you currently have gauges? If not you could always do an H&S as it doubles as both (Mini-maxx or black-maxx)

No guages, no nothing. Truck is stock. This is the beginning of the mods.

What am I looking for on the oil cooler? I know jack sh!t about these diesels. I've done pretty extensive work on old school gas engines, but nada on diesels.
