SPS66... Switched out for a 62. Much better.
SBC Street DD. Shoulda got a ceramic DD so I could pull.
BD BOV- Needs some refinement, ended up pulling it off.
Banks Technicooler- Did it really help??? I think not, but it looked cool!
AFE Stage 1. Go big or go home. I upgraded to Stage II.


Biggest regret- Stripping the '03 and selling it!!!

I wish I would have made my mind up sooner as to what I was doing with the truck, I would have saved alot of money that way. Otherwise,, probably the britebox, and the stupid headlights and tailights that I origionally bought off of ebay

Threads like these are great. It's very helpfull though if when you list a mod or part you list why you were not happy. I've seen threads like this on other forums and they can be very helpfull.

Everything. I should have kept it stock other than the lift and tires.

Everything except the twins. My reliability has gone out the window. Had to buy a second truck just for a daily driver never know when I'm going to have some issue that leaves me stranded. Will probably be de-tuning to near stock after first of year.

Can you share some of those reliability issues with us? Just wondering what I have to look forward to.

Only mod I regret was the Brite Box. It worked great for a while, but now the box has melted and the headlights do all kinds of funky things.

Spray in bed liner... got a rhino... should have got a line-x.

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

Sounds like me with one of my Harleys "I never had a problem until I tried to fix it!"

Banks 6gun and SL AND a Banks technicooler intercooler and Big Head, BIG waste of money for the power level I'm around. Banks plays it too safe and charges WAY WAY TOO MUCH for the little bit of safe power they produce. With all the R&D dollars they spend they should be able to produce some bad edit power adders for those of us who don't mind breaking stuff!

How about a brand of spray in bedliners you guys didin't like? My boss has a linex bedliner in his truck and loves it. He does haul around quite a bit of stuff for the shop...
