get a better tranny. even though this one may be good do some mild upgrades like triple torque converter and valve body upgrade. Then you'll be able to put a lot more of that power to the ground and it will tow a lot nicer. if your towing a lot too you might think about an exhaust brake. also to keep the heat down you might want to get a bigger downpipe and and open air filter if your K&N is still a box filter. also put a second pusher pump on your truck if you havn't already done so like an aeromotive pump or a fass or something like that. Then you should get guages especially fuel pressure.

Gauges first, then start to add the power. That way you know exactly what's going on under the hood.

guages deffiantly 1st like he said but if you read enoough about diesels don't worry so much at geting super expensive ones. heck i never barley look at mine anymore. just for trans temp numbers i know the egt's sre gonna be through the roof anyways when i get on it and the turbo can hod it's own I don't really care about that number that much. but if i had a 24valve the fuel pressure would be my biggest concern.
