It is never too early to start having fun. I waited for like 25K (guess), If my truck got stolen my aliens from space or something, I'd get another Diesel and mod it as soon as I could afford the stuff.

Have fun.

i do belive you need to break it in first, i had an exhaust at 80 miles, and put a tuner on around 700, although i drover it very easy untill 2500 miles so you should be just fine!

I think you should wait a little bit, I know for example that they dont recommend to put in synthetic oil til after 14k due to break in of rings etc. I think that i would personally wait that ammount of time too before bombing it. I know it is a long long time to wait, but it goes fast, and I think that is the only way that you will really be able to notice the differences to their true potential

Little less than 2,000 miles, Did exhaust, air filter and Bully Dog. I'm just not patient I guess, 12K miles now= No problems however I really do not kill the truck either. Your call, good luck.
