98 2500 6.5L first mods?
I just purchased a 1998 gmc 2500 6.5L 2wd regular cab. It was a former hwy maintenance truck and was owned by the state, 104k miles, no rust, well maintained.
I have done alot of research and realize the 6.5 wont make duramax power, however I bought it for a reliable DD, what would be the best way to spend my money for reliablilty and power? the most i will be towing is my car ( acura integra) and I will be doing alot of long hwy trips in the near future....
I plan on adding..
SS Diesel 3"-4" down pipe
SS Diesel 4" exhaust
" " FSD heat sink kit
" " performance wastegate actuator
eventually buying the ECM upgrade.......
Is this the right route to take?
Thanks for any help in advance........ also any maintenance items that I should get out of the way now since its at 100k?

Welcome to Diesel Bombers What part of the State are you from?
As said above please post your question here Chevy/GMC 6.2L and 6.5L - Diesel Bombers to get better response. This is the introduction thread

I am just a supply guy, but the F-22's can do some amazing things, It is a bit overkill actually, but no other country stands a chance against us, which is fine by me. We are light years ahead of anybody and always will be. I am proud to be a part of it, but definetely ready to come home, and drive my new diesel.
