Default what to do .

I would do the Goss mod. on the intake plenum and a K&N air filter. Then Exhaust . I just put plugs in my 06 and they all broke except one. $700.00 for a spark plug change. Good thing i love my truck !!!!

smoked out harley style headlights and either smoked taillight covers or black led.. I have a black truck and I have chrome ones.. but with a white truck the more black you add it stands out.... Get champion plugs.. best out there.. westin bull bar.. programmer id say last on the list.. you need an exhaust big time before anything.. then focus on CAI and I did my throttle body also.. big improvment..

and the stock grills I think are so plain... there as so many bolt overs you can put on quick that will change the whole look.. I have upper billit and lower grill on bumper billit..

Well I think I'm lucky one that had a late model '08 as mine was built in 2008. Hopefully I don't need the horror plugs right?

And thanks for the advice. I like the westin bull bar, and blacked out looks. I really want exhaust first though.

Do you have any recommendations on a cat back system?

I know this thread is from 50 years ago, but life finally got out of the way so I can start spending money on this truck!

I ordered a HBS 2.5" leveling kit tonight.
I'm getting a Bull Bar this weekend.
I ordered a bug shield, and I'm thinking of getting some/all of the Chrome dipped or painted black.
Emblems are going black.
One other thing I'm concerned with, I've gotten 2 rock chips on my fenders and paint is peeling. I would like some fender flares but don't really want anything over the top and big. Just something small and clean looking. Any suggestions?

One thing I'm undecided on is the exhaust? I want to get a cat-back setup but I just can't pick one. The local place says 300$ and they will do something "like" flow master 40's. Not sure if I want anything like that. From what I've read, magnaflow is what I'm looking for.


Thanks for any input. I hope to be able to contribute to the site a little more now.
