If you don't have much money go look under the hood of the Chevy, Ford and Dodge and decide which one you would rather work on

Most of important thing is to find a good clean truck to start with.

A 95 Ford with a 7.3 were a decent truck. I would just leave the engine at stock power. A 99 7.3 you can get way more power.

Haha... I have seen a lot of people add "gauges"... what do they mean by gauges? cause when i get my 99-02 Cummins I plan on getting a Intake, Exhaust, tuner, and possibly gauges?
