I regret buying and installing the 191 DVs. They just make smoke and lots of HEAT. I didnt gain much power at all, even with twins I see 1500 degrees and smoke like a chimney.

To be honest, I really have not had any issues in the 52000 miles on my truck. Turbo has been fine, might be having some issues with the Walbro pump, but not 100% sure on that. It's just the fact that I threw away alot of money on mods, which I don't use anywhere close to their potential, and I threw away the Dodge/Cummins warrenty. If injectors were to go, or drop a valve seat and took out the engine, that could be anywhere from $3500-$12,000 out of *MY* pocket instead of Dodge. I am not dissapointed in the parts I picked, I just would have waited until about 90,000 miles.

Thought of something, maybe my daystar 2" front lift. I put it on when new over 60000 miles now. But it maxed out the suspinion and the factory shocks were to short, i welded on extinions back then but still has always bottomed out [OR UP?] over bumps, railroads etc... think its time for front shocks and not sure what to do. Try again with all the shock companys and hear the bs or remove the front lift and find the easyest way to lower the rear 2-3" how ever it needs to level it, i dont like the rake look, any thoughts

I regret Quads rail pressure gauge. My truck eats them like candy. Right now I'm on number 4. If this one dies it'll be the last. Quad has provided excellent service though, it just seems that we're headed down a dead end road because between the two of us the shipping costs are getting close to the cost of the gauge!
I also regret putting my pyro post turbo. I'm going to fix that easily though.

only things I regret are not buying a single wheel instead of a dually.....I really dont use it enough to have a dually, but i have always wanted a silver dually! Also, not buying a stick instead of a auto. Although the wife drives the truck about 3x's more than I do and she isnt good with a stick. I found a good deal on the truck and it just kinda grabbed me. other than that i love the truck, just wish it had a tad more room in the cab.

I sure do! Had 6 inch mitres. Those things had to go. Yellow truck looks good with black spots all over it. Noise was unbearable even with an mbrp resonator on it. Couldn't hear passengers in the back talking when pulling a trailer. Went to MBRP 5" turbo back. I love it! Put a tool box in the bed that covers the hole nicely.
That's my only regret.

I regret buying my first programmer on my first truck.......Now I have 3 cummins and way too much invested in performance( anybody wanna buy an 06 QC LB?) I regret not being able to leave well enough alone! Oh yeah, and an aftermarket intercooler.....waste of money.
