New Truck Need Help

Hey everyone,

Just got my new dmax last week. Its a great truck but I'd like to make it even better. The truck is my daily driver so any mods can't be too extreme. I pull a 10lb 5er camping and other than that its just light duty. Looking for best fuel economy and overall power. Make some high speed runs to NM hunting and have to be able to blow my buddys Ford and Dodge off. IE speed limiter has to go.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Oh Geez

Obviously Intake, exhaust, programmer. I got a AFE stage II intake and MBRP Turbo back stainless exhaust. The intake made a little difference in 3-4-5-6 gear and the exhaust added power in all gears.

If your looking for a programmer Id look at Hypertech. You can get it for under $300.00 and it adds power, removes speed limiter and adjusts for speedometer bigger tires. Of course you can get a ton of combintaions on these....

Best of luck with your new ride.
