Ordered a ADII-165, thinking about the next mod (turbo upgrade or ?)
Howdy again from Wyoming,
Haven't posted in quite some time. On the way home today, my lift pump gave up the fight, had to have a D-max tow me home
So, at 57k miles I ordered a ADII 165 to fix the lift pump problem. Been wanting to do it for a long time, guess I just waited a few miles too long.
Anyway, thinking about the next mod. I just added a flatbed and am towing more than before (35' toy hauler and 40' enclosed car trailer, both pretty heavy). Multiple use truck (daily driver, towing 21K+ at 6000ft el and above, mild off-road/hunting & fishing). Not my hot rod, though I do enjoy the power I have fast bikes and car projects for that.
So... thinking of starting a little mod fund and am thinking about the possibilities. Things I'm considering:
Turbo upgrade (single, twins are going to be out of budget)
Different programmer (likely a Smarty)
Cam and/or injectors
Other???
Looking for opinions and advice as it has been said that a wise man learns from his mistakes where a very wise man learns from the mistakes of others
Thanks in advance
Allen
P.S. going to update my signature next.

- Better MPG towing and empty
- Maintain or improve drive-ability
