Welcome!!! The first order of business is to hide your credit cards!!! It can get real addictive AND expensive!!!
Seriously though, the first thing you need to do is get gauges, pyrometer and boost at a minimum. Read this: https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...n&onlynewfaq=1
After that the sky is the limit. Have you taken care of your KDP yet? If you don't yet know what it is, just put the search button to work. You will find lots to read there. You should also fill out your signature line so we can give you more specific advice.

After the guages a number ten plate and governer springs are a great start.

 

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLYS. I WILL GET STARTED WITH THE GAUGES ASAP..THE LOCAL DIESEL SHOP HAS A FREE DYNO DAY COMING UP SO I WILL ATTEND AND SEE IF I CAN GET MORE ADVICE THERE..BUT I LIKE TO HAVE A PLACE TO COME AND GET REAL ADVICE AND NOT SOME SALES PITCH..AGAIN THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.........
