Out of curiosity, what issues do you have with the turbo, suspension and fuel pump? All 3 are on my list of to do's.....makes me nervous as that's a lot of $. I was looking at an sps62/12, Lorenz and GDP Fuel Boss....

Not leaving my truck stock and voiding my warranty withing the first 5K miles. Heck with all the money I have spent on this truck I could have bought the Porsche 911 Carerra I have always wanted.

But back to the things I wouldnt do again
Injectors from anyone but F-1, or the other big two DDP/ II.
Trans from anyone but DTT, or the other big boys HTS/Gorend
Twins twice , MPI all the way
Spending a ton of cash on a truck that I will get little to no return on when I sell it. But hey boys will be boys.

Hey, at least your truck is probably faster than that 911 Carerra!

biggest regret has been selling my 97' 3500 5 spd. 12-valve, biggest regret before selling it was bombing the crap out of it & tearing it to pieces!!!! LOL the DD clutch & a WAY WAY too big B1 turbo were my biggest regrets mod wise on it though, the clutch was a little more than I needed!!!! LOL biggest regret with my 07' has been..................... maybe just buying the T3 brushguard & not getting the whole bumper replacement!!!! Dusty

I regret all the performance mods that I did... but I still enjoy them.

I regret my Rhino too. 6 months after it's sprayed it's faded and looks terrible. Costs too much to get it removed and redone. I wish I had joined this site before I bought my truck. I probably would have got a 6 speed instead of an auto and the mega cab instead of the quad. Hindsight is 20/20 though. I'm happy with my truck overall.

I'd say the front and rear bumpers are my most worthless mods yet. I think the truck looked a lot sexier with the stock front bumper. Otherwise I'm fairly contempt with everything else.

So far I regret nothing! Thats why I listen to all the advise of what you people have to say WORKS or DON'T WORK! This is a great site if you have a little patience before you buy. You guys have saved be big $$$ already.

THANKS!

P.S. Thinking more about it I would probably look at more wheel to wheel side tubes and the way the are mounted. The strength of the Westins for us big guys could be a bit more supportive.

Buying an auto. Its good for daily driving and racing but a six speed pulls alot better obviously, is more reliable, and is more fun to drive. My rhino is peeling too. Sometimes I regret my performance stuff because I feel bad and like I'm bein mean to my truck, but then when I smoke some ricer, I feel better....for about 5 minutes, then I feel bad again. Everything I've done works good, but I just wonder how long my trucks gonna last. Kinda scares me a little bit. Plus, people like my dad and all the old men I know tell me I'm stupid and that I'm tearing up my truck and what I'm doing isn't what its meant for

The only one I regret is the front receiver but it is just because I don't use it as much as I thought I might but it has come in handy from time to time. Everything else works like it should and I have been happy with.
