Welcome, CWG,
I know you will enjoy a new Dodge - - super trucks.
You might want to try Scotty or Rod at Wildcat Diesel. They will guide you well on choices for upgrading any diesel. Here is the link.

Re:new to dodges

Welcome, glad to see another ferd guy on the dark side....you'll like life better on the dark side.

I see that you arent new to diesels....thats good. There are many good 4 and even a few 5" exhaust kits available. Do your homeowrk and shop around to get the best price. Lots of guys straight pipe their trucks, but mainly on the older rigs.

As for fuel boxes - FYI, most, if not all performance enhancing boxes will void your warranty. Dodge has gotten very tough on guys with fuel boxes trying to slip warranty claims through. If you need/must have a box, part or all of your drivetrain warranty COULD be voided, depending on your dealer. Dodge will be able to tell - they just have to plug it into their computer. Gone are the days of the good old 12 valve, fuel plate and mechanical lift pump. My recommendation it to get to know your service manager before you buy anything and find out his opinions on things like fuel boxes, exhausts, oiled air filters etc. etc. Of course, there are also those individuals that dont really care about warranty and want H.P. now - and that works too. Good luck.
