You should know what's going on with your engine at all times,install gauges before you even think about adding power. If you do any pulling,your going to want to monitor your trans temp also. Going with a nice set of gauges might mean you have to wait another couple months before you can afford an upgrade,but its better then toasting your engine or transmission. I understand that you can monitor with Edge power,you would probably be more happy with a smarty,its the latest and greatest and some would say the safest.
That's my 2 cents

Wow, your mileage seems low to me. I have a 3500 4x4 dually with the automatic and I routinely get 21 mpg. If I keep it at or under 65mph on the highway I can easily get 22mpg. In winter when they switch to the winter blend fuel and I use the fast idle, my mileage drops to 19-20.
I hear guys with the 6sp manual routinely get 24mpg.

OK. I pretty much have got my mind made up on getting the edge juice with attitude. Do you guys think I should get something for the transmission first? Like a heavy duty torque converter and a better valve body? If so what kind is the best for the money? I think I should though because now it tries to hunt back in forth between 1st and second gear when I try to take off slow but when I get on the throttle pretty hard it does fine. Or it will rev up pretty high but it doesnt take off for a few seconds. And from what I have read from other post on here that is the torque converter not locking up right.
