LLY: Upgrading my LLY

[Javlin42]

I'm new to diesels and I have a 2004 LLY. The truck already has a LBZ Mouthpiece, S&B Intake, Rebuilt Transmission, Trans-Go Shift Kit, EFI Live, DSP5 Switch, 4" straight pipe, EGR Delete, PPE Rail Plug, Ported Fuel Rail Fittings, and a Batmowheel.

So far i have purchased a PPE Downpipe, Fass Titanium 150, Fass sump, Fass fuel filter delete, billet resinator and pcv plug, djm 6/8 drop, and steel braided hydroboost lines from dhd. I plan on installing all of the parts at the same time, is there anything else you guys would recommend me doing?

I think you have covered all the bolt on dodads

Welcome, nice truck!!! I have found out (the hard way) that it's best to do one mod at a time if possible. I got ambitious once and spent an entire long weekend modding a whole bunch of stuff. When I was done, I got in, drove it and got a CEL right away. Took me a while to figure out what I did wrong. Take your time and make sure each mod works OK before you tackle the next one.
When I installed my lift pump, I spent some extra time adding a small fuse block and tap point off the IGN fuse for other mods (gauges, on-board air compressor, air horns, lift pump & some other future stuff).

Nothing else you could recommend? Not really sure where to go from here, hopefully I can make upper 500's with this setup.

Thanks! Yeah I'm definitely going to do one thing at a time. I like that fuse block idea.

How Built is your rebuilt trans?

 

[Javlin42]

I have no clue. I talked to the guy that rebuilt the engine and transmission and he said it's been 3 years ago and he doesn't remember.

 

[Burn Down]

Oh boy... If that trans isn't "Built" it won't hold 500hp for long. As for upper 5's with your current setup. I doubt it, unless you have a freak, realistically low to mid 5's depending on cp3 and injector health. Beyond mid 5's your out of air This is with a max effort tune as well, not sure how aggressive your tune/tuner is.

 

[Javlin42]

Yeah with my luck I can already see a transmission in my future. Lol I was under the impression that these trucks could make upper 500's in close to stock trim. In the future I'd like to upgrade the turbo before doing a compound setup. The truck is supposed to have idaho rob tunes on it but I'm not sure if there is anyway to tell.

 

[Javlin42]

I also keep getting a P2563 and a P003A code nearly every time I drive it.

Your truck is were im aiming to be. I just did intake, mouthpiece, downpipe, 4" strait pipe, blocker plate, finger stick ( no efi live yet ), and pcv reroute. In the next week i will be installing transfer case pump rub kit, brace, new trans mount, u-joints, carrier bearing, deep trans pan, outer front drive shaft seals, pinion seals, tail shaft seal, and tap shifter. If i have time im hoping to weld up my new winch bumper! For the most part thoe where your at is my goal for my truck. I was also thinking about doing headers/up pipes and a turbo from Danville. Nothing to crazy on the turbo just a highly reworked stocker. Cause i dont think i want to run big fuel. Just a lift pump. But like i said im aiming at the same boltons you have and ill be done with it cause i really dont want more headache then that. Your truck looks really nice thoe man glw it.
