Extra Money

I am going to have 2,000 doallrs to do a few upgrades and I wanted to see what Kind of uprgrades yall will be the best for my use. I pull heavy heavy trails with pallets of grass around my town making deliveries and need the power where I will use it. Going from light to light is the biggest problem and need more power down low where it can help me.

Well from reading your sig you dont have anything bout gauges. get them first need them with any upgrades and pullling. Then i would say get a marco mad ecm and a good clutch like a south bend. because if you do any more power up grades your gonna need a clutch anyways. but they all say the mad ecm is awesome down low power.

I've got an Edge EZ that I'm looking to sell that will boost your low end power...
and that $2k will just about cover it.

But seriously, I see in your sig something about a "100 horse module", what is that?
Since you already have the exhaust and the intake covered, I would suggest getting a MAD ecm to boost your low end pulling power. From what I hear there is nothing like it.

Edit:

You beat me to it dieselrob

You can order an ECM, install it and send your old one back then. The only down time is the 15 min it takes to change it out.

You just have to cover the 300 dollar core charge until they recieve yours back.

That sounds like an idea what other upgrades do I need to do? I plan on getting a south bend clutch to handle the extra power

I believe that with the MAD ecm alone no other upgrades need to be made, the stock clutch should hold.
The ecm is supposed to give you 70 hp increase, but really low in the rpm band which is why it's so good for towing.
You can also add a set of RV275 injectors to bump up the power more as well as smooth the idle and increase fuel economy.
My buddy is running this combo now and his truck is an animal down low.

I would still replace the clutch. Cause with the MAD ECM and your Module ( beleive me you will want to use it towing oneday) you may need it. If you dont change it atleast go ahead and get a good one and have it ready.
