What are your future plans with the truck? The reason i ask is "upgrades" may just be a waste of time and $$ if your aiming for big numbers.

However, a solid TQ, valvebody and or shiftkit will help dramatically. As well as a 6.0 tranny cooler and deep pan

[Cory S]

well i am just gonna chip it and exhaust. can you point me in the right direction where to get a valve body and shift kit? can i run them both?

[blowinsmoke7.3]

If your just gonna run a chip a JW VB would be suffcient for the "average driver" if you feel the need to floor it everywhere you go i would get a good TC as well.

I believe you can either run one or the other (vb/shift kit) im not for sure though

[Cory S]

yea i dont floor it all the time i am a regular type driver with a lil grandpa in me lol how do you like your hankooks? thats what my new truck has?

- where can i pick up a valve body?

[blowinsmoke7.3]

The hankooks have been good to me so far. Not too loud on the road pretty decent grip in the nasty stuff.

I think Itp has a jw vb

You can find it here:

BTS or JW are the best places to get a VB.

I bought my factory tech valve body for my 02 SD from dieselsite.com. Easy install and what a differance shifting. Nice firm shifts, no delay in reverse. Worth the price.
