im looking for stuff to improve on this awesome engine.

do i need to add anything to the trans to make it hold up??

also maybe where i can buy these parts.. im 22 yrs old and boy do i LOVE this truck.. all i can think about is modding it.
so please ANY help is greatly greatly appreciated..

4inch exhaust Farm Boy's Diesel makes a nice kit for a great price, Intake I'd go with the AFE Stg II, Chip either the Tony Wildman or DP Tuner. Turbo: I've got the Turbonetics Ceramic BB and love it and the Garrett BB is good also.

thanks man!

As far as the Trans I'd get a valvebody, Triple Disc Convertor, and Transgo Trugger Kit.

Exhaust 350-450 Chip 400-500 Intake 375-400 Turbo 1500-1800

on dfuser.com i saw a nice looking package for $1200, guages chip intake and exhaust. Not too sure about it but couldnt hurt to check it out. I have an aFe stage 2 with proguard, edge juice with attitude, and im going to get an exhaust from farm boy soon. just those two things make it rediculouse

exhaust - 4" turbo back, I know a place having a sale right now for 300 shipped for Aluminized and 340 shipped for SS... PM me if ya want.
intake - Love my AFE stage 2, but there are others, Tymar, AIS... The are all good.
chip - Dp Tuner or www.totaldieselperformance.com... about $400 depending on the settings
turbo - What are you wanting out of the truck? You dont need a turbo for basic mods... A ATS housing for $400 will cure all surge issues. If not, A Turbonetics BB unit is what I would recomend.

Tranny Valve body will help, be it a BTS or a John Woods...

Gauges... Isspro, thats why I run 16 of them...

I know what you mean! I am 24 and there are only a few thoughts running in my head, one involves girls, one involves moddin the truck, then moddin the bike, then moddin the boat, then watching the ducks game! Hahahaahahah
