i just picked up an 06' dodge 3500... it has 44,000 miles on it, automatic, 4 door sport... i know the guy who owned it (origional owner) really well... he put a AFE intake, quadzilla xillerator (sp?) chip with boost fooler and a exhaust + trans temp, boost and egt gauges on the a-pillar... i want to ditch the quadzilla chip...

my plans for the truck are a leveling kit, and some wheels + tires, i eventually want to build the trans, but thats down the road... i use the truck as a daily driver and also use it on our farm alot, pulling our skid loader, hay and grain wagons around and also to pull my built jeep YJ to different wheeling spots... so it will be pulling between 3000 and 16000 lbs... i want to keep it reliable, get decent fuel mileage, but also have enough power to beat the local teenagers who think they're cook cause they blow black smoke...

suggestions on how to build my truck up?

for wheels i'm planning on KMC rockstars, and for tires im planning on 305-65-18 BFG A/T...

thanks!!

First thing I'd do is fab up something better for fuel filtration. Think CAT 1R-0749.

 

Here's what i'd do

Get tranny built
Lift pump
Rail pressure gauge
Smarty
Mp-8
Htt 64/13ss turbo or stock turbo over s475 if you want twins
Flux 2's
Floor it stg 2 cp3
