Well, if you come to town, I have a buddy who LOVES to do this crap lol. He asked if he could help put the CAC tubes on etc. I am sure he'd be happy if you brought some boudin etc.

IF you keep the grill guard; get it powdercoated. I hate chrome lol.

Thanks, I love it too, but I don't know what to do w/ it lol. Black wheels and light on the 6.4s looks good, but I don't know about that on a 6.0

Lol maybe when I'm off for Christmas…

I'm gonna put it on the Exxon classifieds(well, my mom will for me) and Craigslist soon. I want a ranch hand rear, but I'll probably wait on that and use the money for something motor related.

Nice 6.0 reminds me of my 6.0 I had my freshman year of college. I'd suggest an New Straight pipe exhaust 4 or 5 inch, an Monitor, an Tuner, Upgrade those rims to the 08-10 Lariat rims with some toyo tires,egr delete, BPD Oil Cooler, Studs.

That's the plan...if only I could get my wallet on board :fustrate:

So far:
Steering wheel cover
OEM chrome tip( for a lil blang

imp

new front pads(still a horrible squeal, gonna do the rear soon)

Soon to come:
4" exh(should be headed my way Thurs)
rotors checked
blue spring
OEM filters(hopefully these 3 will be this weekend)
coolant filter(gonna go to Coy's Fri. and get a sinister probably)
Maybe some harley 20s

After my wallet and I restore our relationship:
Absolute egr delete
Absolute delta line kit
oil cooler
stc fittings
and studs(gotta see where I can get the heads checked, unless I can get our mech to do everything...hm)

Thanks, yea I forgot to add the monitor and custom tunes to my first list. A wheel upgrade is currently on the table, but it'll be for 20" 6.0 harley wheels. If I can find a place to refinish them for a good price, I'll probably get them.

Also forgot to add a coolant flush before the new oil cooler(like a month before), and adding some more power steering fluid

I'd LOVE to come for the November 23 (see what I did there?) game, but alas... work... we MAY be there for Christmas again. If I am, we'll have a wrenching party!

Me and my wallet, are in a constant struggle, oddly the wife has no issues, but I have always had some kind of vehicle I throw money at. The build plan looks good, but just remember it never stops

That part is key LOL. I am just glad there are so many awesome resources here on PSA to help, though!

The resources here are great, I can't wait to move back home and be closer to allot of the members/vendors/events,

The process is never ending with a vehicle, you think you have it where you want it then a part fails, or someone beats you at a light or, something new comes out you didn't even know you needed

LOL It better work out! I'm turning down a $450 week skiing trip for this wrenching party! I'd rather use that money on my truck anyways, especially after being behind a straight piped 6.0 as I was driving back on campus.

Yea, I'm noticing that LOL, everyday I see something new that I NEED. And no one seems to understand! :cursing: "You bought a truck, now you 'need' to do stuff to it!?" "Why do you 'need' an EGR delete!?" "Why would you want to do the heads if they are fine!?"

Oh yeah, straight piped is awesome. I have been compiling a list of stuff I NEED!!! It's all the pricey stuff now, I got the cheap mods now I gotta fork out the real coin

Priorities! NOW you see where my reasoning comes in, on truck parts vs. trips etc. LOL Plans seem to be in order for Christmas in BR, so I will keep you apprised of the dates!

Truck/car people understand each other. Those not in the community, have no idea. LOL
