New truck....deletes and H&S are incredible!
Just upgraded the truck to a 2011 3500 4x4 Crew Cab Laramine long bed. This is my 5th Dodge diesel (first 6.7), and I am impressed. Drove to Idaho to pick the truck up at the dealership last weekend, overall happy with the drive back to Oregon, but I did the H&S Black Maxx and deletes today and couldn't be happier. If anyone is on the fence....DO IT. Feels like a totally different truck. Tuner looks great with the pillar mount, and the features that the tuner offers are awesome.
Couple questions:
I put a AFE stage 2 intake on today. Is anyone else running this intake? Happy with it? The dealership strongly warned me against doing aftermarket intake, as they claim to have trucks coming back with issues due to these trucks pulling dirt and debris through aftermarket filters. Are these dry filters adequate?
Can I put the AMP Research auto-steps on this truck? I heard that the "in-floor coolers" in the rear of the cab interfere with the steps. This true?
Has anyone leveled this truck with new springs instead of just spacers? I am looking at Superlift springs (2" front lift) and Bilstien shocks.
Thanks!

On my 5.9 I used the Afe proguard 2 and the Afe dry filter. I really liked the dryflow filter.
On this truck I used the drop in AFE dryflow filter with the DPP cool tube. I did find that the tube had dust inside of it after a few months of use. There were no leaks (that I could find). So it appeared to me that it was pulling dust through the filter. Since I've never seen any difference between the stock and aftermarket filters I'm back to the stock paper filter (and no dust now). Just my 2Cents.

I have a brand new set of amps boards and also the bed step. Call amp direct and ask them what part number you need. I know mine was the first 2011 3500 they had seen and did the R&D on my truck for it. I was told they have a new stronger bracket system.
When you get them and see the install directions, your looking at my truck.
