Nice truck, first thing is do the delete. Air heater filter kit, and maybe a clutch, depends on your right foot. I have a 10 3500 CCSB and about 20000km's on mine. My next mod is a fass system for mine.

Its a mod to install a incab air filter. The stock truck doesn't have an air filter.

Mike i already wrote down those part numbers.. thats on my list for tomorrow.. after heading to the tire shop to get the leaking tubes in my tractor replaced.. calcium all over the place at my house.. not happy bout that..

As for a clutch.. it will be used nicely... for now.. i need to get some miles on it before i mess to much with it.. i'm under 2000 km with it..

Good looking truck. The quad cab/long bed combo is a sexy setup, as much as I don't like quad cabs. If my 12v ever blows up, I might have to look into getting a '10+ truck..

Probably be fun to install a performance clutch into a newer truck. I bought an automatic, wishing that I bought a clutch, drove a few stick rides as of late. Found that I liked it.

Rumor mill is that 11 is the last year of the stick with dodge, after that its all auto (8 speed) comes out. Not sure about the urea/DEF stuff.

Grand- you going to do the dpf removal? H&S will fix the torque management for ya. The lower torque curve/numbers is cause of the clutch, 6.7L are torque beasts.

Been curious if the newer 350/800 engine is any different from the standard 6.7L

Mike.. Thats why i bought the new truck this year (I wanted to wait till next year) was no more sticks..

I will leave the DPF stuff in there till i run out of warranty.. then it will be party time for upgrades..
