Gages and exhaust should be where mods start. IMO

All depends, whatcha lookin for? Fuel mileage, power, monitoring what the truck is doing? Daily driver or pulling trailers all the time? What do you plan on doing with the truck? I'm a huge Cummins fan myself, I've owned 3 of them now. Couple buds have Dmax's, they are both good trucks with great motors.

Gauges and exhaust. Neither will make power,
but you'll need them later when you do make some power.
