for towing day in and out i would leave the motor stock, just go the tranny and make sure your tires are up to snuff....buy some gauges and maybe enable the high idle for those times you need to leave it running.....other than that change the fluids and filters

An economical upgrade good for towing would be an Aurora 2000 or 3000, or an equivalent from one of the other manufacturers. I want one of these myself.

You shouldn't NEED a new turbo. Most of the aftermarkets will be slightly more laggy down low anyway. And if you leave the motor stock or only slightly upgraded (100hp or so) you should have no issues with EGT's. If I just wanted to spend money I think I'd also try some flux 1 40hp injectors before the turbo, and if you can't keep it cool then get a turbo. But nothing bigger than a 62/12 or 62/14.

The money is good but it came with a small price, like lets say getting shot in the chest twice. But hey Rangers lead the way and Im glad that we have a gov. that will take care of use when we are in need.

Yep, live in Fontana. Grew up next door in Alta Loma (Rancho Cucamonga) but got priced out of my own neighborhood when it came time to buy a house. Fontana has changed a bunch. Where I live (North Fontana) is nothing but new development. It's like living in Alta Loma during the 70's and 80's all over again.

Are there sponsor's here that can give a me good price? The reason I ask is because The VA is asking me to give them 3 quotes on pricing. So far Lunguna speed has giving me a quote but it still they seem a little high compared to others. I need a sponser that can offer all the parts that Im looking for. You know how it goes with the Gov. they always go with the lowest biter.
