you should put up a picture of your truck maybe you should go with some new headlights if yours are stock like hids or halo projectors maybe smoked brake lights front bumber or rear maybe an exhaust break or torq converter lock up heck just go to each one of the sponers sites andlook around

I would also be looking at if any thing needs fixed maybe got something a leaking change fluids maybe steering box stabalizer

and then go get something for the outside of the truck like HID headlights or smoked break lights or what ever ya want you should put a pic of your rig up so we can see what your workin with

I would have had a little more $$ but im getting the front and rear diffs fluid chaged and getting my radiator/coolant lines flushed. so ive already factored in some of that..
I also have some pretty nice rear taillights (aftermarket) that i really like, my headlights are not fogged or anything so i think im good there...

bigger injectors, a bottom turbo and some piping, an actual fuel pressure gauge and trans temp gauge, put mag hytec on while your doing the diffs so you can service them yourself easy. head studs and o-ring it because once you get a little more injector in there your going to be able to pop it... been there done that.

fuel pressure gauge and since I don`t see it in your signature pulse so you can really get the performance out of the adrenaline

yea you can get the injectors and pulse both for 5-6 hundred then your fuel psi gauge and then your diff covers and that should cover your 1400. when i get my taxes back thats all i have to spend i have to get brakes all around track bar fixed chocks then i am getting injectors pulse and fuel gauge and im going to talk the ol ladie into giving me a lil leee way for an exhaust

Maybe some flex-a-lite fans.Flex-a-lite Diesel Truck Cooling Fan #262 Just giving some ideas more power and more MPH,at least that is what I experienced.How about some nice control arms to?or traction bars.Just my input.I'm liking the red.Bully bar,one piece headlights,smoked rear lights,matching smoked clearence lights.This is fun spending your money.
