Well I’m a new guy to the CTD just bought a 06 megacab, had a Powerstroke for years. Let me tell ya I’m really impressed with the Dodge fit and finish of the truck. The CTD has way more power then my old chipped 7.3. If you guys could give me some tips on the CTD and truck such as upgrade for appearance / performance and maintenance it would be appreciated

 

How could that be? I always hear the Ford guys saying they wouldn't buy a Dodge because of the fit and finish... though I suppose I've always assumed that meant they thought it was bad. Maybe it's that it's better then they're used to and don't want to get out of they're comfort zone


Welcome!

 

Welcome to the club! First thing to do is remove the muffler to get a little more sound. That was the first mod I did to my truck and I love the way it sounds. If you add any performance stuff such as a chip, definetly add a set of gauges. I run the AFE Stage II intake with the torque tube which makes the turbo loud and lets the truck breath better. If you want to do a chip, you may want to look at the Edge EZ or Quad XZT, both of which are sold by Larry at the DTR performance shop. I just ordered my exhaust from him and he is a super guy with great prices and great customer service. Good luck with the new truck and again, welcome to this great website with other proud Cummins owners.

 

Welcome. Just read a ton of threads and you'll learn more than you need to know... and you'll spend more than you should...
But it's so much fun...

 

Welcome to the site! Im a newbie too with the CTD, so Im learning right along with you.

 

welcome to both of ya'll...
hotrod, which car is faster, and which one is more fun to drive?? impressive lineup!!

later, dustin

 

Today was my first day on the board as well. I've already learned a bunch.

 

Like Patriot said, remove the muffler, silencer ring, get an intake for starters...then go programmer.

Nice to see another Delaware Native here.

Get a Smarty,Gauges, exuast and intake. Behave your self if you don't want to do driveline modifications or get a clutch or auto tranny work and you will be very happy. I would say get gauges then a smarty!!

 

Welcome to the site and good luck with the new rigs.

 

As everyone says welcome to the site, and go with the guages, silencer ring removal for sure, intake, programmer etc. Then do a leveling kit to run bigger meats, if thats the look you are going for. Make good usage of the search function too, it can answer a lot of the questions you might have! Welcome to your new obsession!

 

Welcome aboard...sell your truck now and save a ton of cash! :-)

Guages + intake + muffler replacement + smarty.....enjoy and save for the next round!

 

Is it me or is this thread over a year old? Looks like this guys been a member for awhile. Welcome anyway!

 

Ya I was wondering if I was seeing things or if it was that old of a thread.
