Just did my first performance mod. Installed the ppe boost valve. Not a big deal i know but the difference can be felt. left me wanting more! :drool:

Better hand your wallet to the wife now, and close the credit card account.
Diesel Performance is a very steep slope and can get expensive, but its a hell of a fun ride.
Just wait til you get to the point of being "fastest vehicle in the parking lot". :rofl: A fellow driver at our center has a 12 second Dart that cant beat me. He hates it.

Yeah its one of those things where its never enough. You buy one part and before u can even install and test it your planning what your gonna put in next.

addiction... obsession?
I ate my first turbo a few days ago... I had a dream last night that i was driving my truck WOT and noticed my EGT's were climing way to fast so i let off the throttle... they continued to climb and took out the motor. It woke me up from a sound sleep at 4am this morning.
This is a sickness. The faster you go the faster you wanna go, the more you worry about grading something the better u wanna build it. The better you build it the faster you can go the more you worry. Kinda like the rat hooked on crack in the drinkng water... its killing him to drink the water but he needs it.:rofl:

Thats how my problem started just a little ppe boost valve.Then theres all them little voices in my head telling me to buy this and this but i know my stock ally cant take much more abuse.:driving:
Wish I wouldnt of taken baby power steps from edge to efilive......Start big, Its cheaper in the long run. Buying and selling a week later is no fun
i think crack would be a way cheaper habit then the we all have
x10,000,000,000
I wish my GF or someone would of hit me in the side of the head, The day I wentto the dealer and bought it.Oops thats righ they thought I was on my way to work and never went in came home with the truck. :angel:
its sooo much fun!!! i don't even have a truck compared to half the people on here and i love mine mods add up way fast though. even bolt ons. wait till motor build time

I know the feeling! I gotta sneak parts in under my wifes radar to get stuff! I just wait till she does something really stupid to piss me off then i get to order whatever i like!
how quickly the topic heads down hill. :rofl:
I got the oil drain plug to delete the intake heater and a expandable freeze plug to cover the hole for the resignator (bet thats spelled wrong) anyone ever use an expandable plug for that??
Im gonna try and do the airbox mod but i couldnt find a thread that shows exactly what to remove. Im sure i could wing it and be fine but some ideas of where to start would be nice.

I wouldnt use the expandable plug...I have heard of the nut/bolt loosening and dropping into the turbo. Just go get a 2" rubber Fernco cap. Safer that way.
