2004-2008 build guide
On other forums i have been on i have added or there already is a newb guide to build by...for a relative idea. This is a middle of the road, go for performance or lifted trucks.
Starters
INTAKE
CAT BACK EXHAUST
CUSTOM TUNES (SCT XCAL3 OR LIVE WIRE WITH VMP OR TROYER TUNES)
GOOD TIRES FOR WHAT YOU PLAN ON USING THE TRUCK FOR
ELECTRIC FANS
4.56 GEARS
UPGRADED BRAKES
WIDEBAND GAUGE
TRANSMISSION COOLER UPGRADE
SHORTY HEADERS
that is a suggested list to use, there are other things to get and some things may not be needed for certain builds, i am getting much more then that list, however some things i wont be getting. that list can be changed for a lifted truck or a race truck or a tow truck.
THINGS TO AVOID
THROTTLE BODY SPACERS
EDGE TUNER

Maybe the suggestion should be more unbiased.
Instead of 4.56 Gears it should be Gears
Or Custom tunes by Troyer or VMP just Custom Tunes.
I definitely think it is a good idea.

edge has been reported to cause transmission troubles
4.56 are the average gear to go with in these trucks, for both lifted and performance based, any lower and im told you dont get the same feel....that coming from a gent who had swapped
4.10 to 4.56
