What mod next

Wren · Jan 25, 2014

Looking to see what to do next. I am going to get some custom gearhead tunes for my H&S then wondering where to go. Everyday driver, not looking to have a drag truck, but definitely want to have the power there if I want it. Mods are in my signature.

Maybe a no limit cold side pipe or a drop in atmo turbo?

do you have a budget for this next mod? maybe a 75mm atmospheric turbo and ported intake manifold and the no limit cold side pipe. those would all compliment each other pretty well.

x2 that's a solid next mod for sure.

I'm a big fan of the drop in atmos. Which ever one u choose will reduce egts and make a good bit of power as well. One of the best bangs for the buck. You will also need the no limit intake so you don't bottom out the filter minder

I will look into those. You have to remove the cab to do the turbo though right?

ncollins64 · Jan 25, 2014

Negative. You can do it cab on fairly easy

Its not too bad. The up pipe bolts on the turbo can be a b!tch though. Good 6 point socket is needed

ncollins64 · Jan 25, 2014

I left my vgt intact and just pulled my atmo. But either way its not bad

forcefed6.4ford · Jan 25, 2014

Ah drop in. Didn't see that part. Piece of piss to change out.

2good2Btru · Jan 25, 2014

Get some good 6 point sockets, stay away from craftsman sockets. They are POS

Damn them atmo turbos aren't cheap at all lol.. Im thinking maybe some traction bars before I do anymore power like that maybe. What do yall think?

6.4strokin · Jan 26, 2014

traction bars are a good investment they help with axle wrap plus they help with the your trans shifting.

I don't think traction bars are much cheaper, an atmo turbo could be 12-1300 traction bars are around that price too atleast from One up offroad anyways.

Traction bars would be a good next modification. You can't go wrong with PMF or OUO.

Wren · Jan 26, 2014

Traction bars are only 450. I haven't seen any that over a grand, that's crazy.

Wren · Jan 26, 2014

Wow just looked at one up, their prices are ridiculous. I even had a person quote me 450 for custom built ones.

6.4strokin · Jan 26, 2014

you will soon learn my friend that nothing is cheap in the diesel industry. With that being said theres alot of companies that do a lot of testing and putting their own money on the line to create new products.

Wren · Jan 26, 2014

Yeah just looking at the prices of them, looks like they have went up a little since I purchased my leveling kit. Looking at different sites looks like the turbos are about the same. So what should I do first, turbo or traction bars?
