My first diesel, 2001 2500
Just put on MBRP 4" exhaust, level kit, new 285 tires and ordered a Scotty II intake. This is my first diesel and i'm loving all the aftermarket stuff you can do to them! I bought it with 119000 and i'm hearing all the stuff about the lift pump, so i also ordered the pump relocation kit. Sound like i need to do some tranny upgrades before i get a programmer eh?
I read an old thread about the long shipping time for the Scotty intakes, is this true? Anyway, just wanna show off my new truck, new to me at least..

Leather i could live with or without, it just happen to have it, suprisingly soft and comfortable though! Any suggestions on a programmer?

Easy there son.....do a little more reading and get the ducks in line. Your FIRST mod needs to be gages.
After that, you can monitor all the little BOMB's you add.

Nice truck... But I'm kinda partial to white extended cab 4x4's. Long beds are even better.

Another thing, where is the silencer ring? I want to remove it when i put in the Scotty's intake.

you can get an A-piller that doesn't take away the tweeter from auto meter and the gagues you need
1st and most important on a 24v is a fuel pressure
2nd pyro...this gets tapped in to the exhaust manifold preturbo on the back side near the #6 cylinder where it necks down by the turbo
3rd boost so you don't blow a head gasket or blow your turbo with to much boost
&
4th trans temp so you don't wreck that soon to be needed built trans
ps. auto meter also makes non a piller gague mounts or you could get a digital monitor but i personally like analog better
