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..

 

I don't know where you found that sucker, but it sure is clean and looks really good.

 

Looks good! Wish I had leather seats....

bob

 

leather seats, hot in the summer, cold in the winter. pretty clean nice first pick.

 

A couple of months ago I bought my '01 in very similar shape. Almost the same truck except mine is a 5 speed. I couldn't be happier with it. Enjoy your truck.

 

Very clean and nice truck...Now how 'bout them BOMB's

 

BOMB's as in upgrades? I did the exhaust today, Scotty's intake is coming soon i hope. Has anybody had trouble with over the boarder shipping taking a long time with Scotty's?
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.

 

Trust me, once you get the scotty you'll be all smiles cause it will take you to any horsepower you want that doesn't involve twin turbos.

 

How far did your tranny go?

 

Exhaust and intake are safe without gages right? I'm thinking you can't do much harm with those, just good. Correct my if i'm wrong please, i'm a newbie!

 

He thinks it is still going, dosen't he?

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

 

You won't hurt anything by doing the exhaust and intake. You won't have the stock baseline, but you won't hurt things.

And gauges need to be next.

 

Gotcha! What is a good set? I'm not sure i'm into the a-piller ones, plus i don't want to lose the tweeter in that piller also. Plus i have no clue about the gages, do you have to tap into the exhaust to put a sensor there or is there a place that boost, egt and others hook up stock?

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
