i just got an new 07 laramie auto arriving in the new week or so, and i must start buying performance parts for it, what is the general "to do" list on these new trucks.... i intend to do everything i can to it, but still want it to remain driveable like it will be new and would like the mileage to remain liveable.....
advice?
suggestions?
first new diesel "toy" so im clueless.......

 

Intake, guages, chips, exhaust, lift , tires, wheels, injectors, turbo(s), Cp3, FASS....... And the list goes on....

What do you want to do with this truck?? Performance, tow, drag, sled-pull.

Lots of options..

If you just want better economy. Get an intake, exhaust and chip.. That'll keep you happy until you want more.

performance with a little bit of towing, well maybe more than a little bit, but nothing to to serious.
intake? exhaust? chip?
whats the good brands on this stuff?
im not used to big diesels yet, lol.

 

I would definitely get the Smartyl BUT... to use it on level 9 you will need a fully built tranny (get it as bullet-proof as possible; you can never overbuild it enough!), new fuel pump, new CP3 pump, and then I would add injectors, head studs, intake, and gauges.

 

I'd leave it alone and just enjoy the ride. Maybe tires, rims, but leave the drivetrain alone.

 

A good rule of thumb is: "If it came from the factory; REPLACE IT!!!"

 

If your not wanting to blow a whole load on a smarty or Bully DOg look into the quad zxt module it adds 65 hp and is nice. I started with that!!! As far as intake goes do you off road?? My 05 spend more time off road thatn on and I was cleaning it all the time so my 06 will have an enclosed box instead of an open one. Look into rokktech.com for a muffler good aeroturbine and free flowing not much louder than stock looking for louder get a peice of pice and ditch the muffler or MBRP..
