Just acquired a beautiful Crew Cab/Long Bed 2500hd LMM LTX Z71 and looking on getting some stuff done to it.

On the list so far:
Warn 16.5 Wench
With bumper and grill guard http://www.fabfours.com/Full%20Size%...0Guard%20A2050

Not sure on what exhaust
PPE tuner
AutoMeter guages
either AR or Tech One wheels
Lift kit, want to see if rancho makes one or can make me one.
HID lights and fogs

Anyone have any suggestions on must have mods? Things you particularly enjoy?

You failed to mention what body/bed configuration. It helps on choosing certain parts.

I will soon be carrying FabFour Products, as well as RBP and PowerSlot. But in the meantime, I can help with the following parts:

Exhaust - Are you going to do the DPF delete? If not, the DPF-back is for looks only. If so, I would go with a DiamondEye turboback as it includes the downpipe.
PPE tuner - I sell the standard for $450
AutoMeter guages - I have their entire lineup on my site, feel free to browse for one that suits your fancy.
Lift Kit - I deal with RCD, ProComp, SuperLift, Keldermann and SuspensionMaxx. I would personally go with an RCD kit, but ProComp is used by most manufacturers.

As for must have mods...I would strongly suggest deleting your DPF, installing a shift kit, and getting a larger fuel tank. Having 60 gallons is better than 26 anyday!

It's a crew cab long bed. Does the turbo back have any sort of emission cleaners, cats? If so is it noticeable? What are the benefits of a shift kit?

I have the 4" Diamond Eye turbo back kit w/ PPE hot+2 race and love it. Also have shift kit on the way.

The turboback system has only a muffler, nothing else.
A shift kit makes your shifts firmer, quicker, and allows you to run more power through it! It also helps your trans to live longer.

What is the difference between the hot and the economy PPE? I cant find the shift kit on your site, I would like more details on it, what it is, what it does.

Thanks,
MS

Type in "shift kit" in the search box and it will show up.

The Standard tuner gives you a LOT more options, adjusts speedo, tire size, gear ratio, and numerous other features. The economy merely clears trouble codes.

PPE Standard
Level 1 40hp - 97tq
Level 2 90hp - 160tq
Level 3 160hp - 240tq
Level 4 225hp - 335tq

PPE Economy (2006-07)
Level 1 40hp - 97tq
Level 2 90hp - 160tq
Level 3 160hp - 240tq

So what's the hot?

[4x4Fantasy]

The HOT is the same as the standard but its tunes go up to 275hp/420tq. The HOT+2 goes up to 300hp/460tq!
