Upgrade questions...
Hello all --
I'm new to this site and can't post on TDR since my subscription is currently out of date. Anyhow, I'm picking up a small (19' - approx. 7-8k) 5th wheel this weekend and am going to do a few truck upgrades while I'm at it.
Here's what I'm thinking of getting
TST CR w/gauges (pyro & boost)
AFE stage 2 -- Should I get the Torque Tube or something similar?
Cooper LT 265/70R17 tires -- E rated
My Truck is a 2004 - 305/555 - 6 speed- short box - Straight piped w/original exhaust.
I'm thinking the TST since I would most likely like to go bigger later (ie turbo and turn the box up more). What setting would be reasonale to run on the TST with this setup? What hp/tq rating would those settings provide. Does this seem like a reasonable upgrade path?
I'm planning on having all of these goodies by the time I leave for a family reunion in Idaho June 18th. BTW, it'll be a diesel fest. My dad's '96 12V , uncles '02 24V, brother-in-laws 6.0L PS Ford and my '04 HPCR. We give my brother-in-law guff for the first few hours every year but it's really a pretty nice truck... fun to razz him... hehe.
Thanks for any advice,
jeff
