Project overhaul/mods start soon

[nc1500]

I'm finally getting ready to start my planned mods and upgrades next month. I had thought about getting a 2011, but with the cost of fuel rising, and having to justify the entrance fee, I decided to take what I already have and make it what I want (which is always more fun and satisfying anyway). First Coast Diesel Performance in Middleburg is my shop of choice as they seem down to earth and honest. The upgrades will be done in stages, starting with getting it ready for tow season.

One sticking point so far is the choice of gauges. I want a tripple pod with Isspro EGT, boost and trans. They are trying to talk me into a 4 hole pod with Autometer gauges that also includes a coolant temp gauge. I like, and trust, Isspro products but don't know a lot about the Autometers, and don't see the need to have an additional coolant temp gauge when the factory one seems to work fine. Any thoughts?

As the job progresses I'll try to get some pics posted. The list is way too long to post on here at one time, so I will just update the things currently in work. I have some pics in my gallery, all of which are now considered "before". Once completed, it won't be the same truck. Stay tuned...
