not to be a jerk but you better slow down, even with what you've added you are going to smoke you trans. and just spend to money on gauges and a smarty you will be so much happier. what are you goals with this truck?

I just want a reliable truck that gets good mileage and has plenty of power when I want to play every once in a while.

Ok I have been doing some thinking and looking around. What if I got a smarty jr., and then get an edge outlook or some kind of digital monitoring system to monitor everything? Will that work?

From previous experience I would go ahead and get a good torque converter and a valvebody, I had an 05 cummins and I blew mine with only 80,000 miles on it, also had a juice w/attitude, but before that I had a bully dog on it. It seems kinda redicolus but believe me its worth it. After a tc and a valvebody youll be suprised how much it helps out. After those are taken care of I would get some gauges and a Smarty!
