but now its time to do something with my truck. I am finally going to get started on beefing up my truck and hopefully you guys are the ones to help me!!! I was the excited proud owner of a brand new 2500HD SLT the end of June in 2006. I told my self that I would wait until the motor had at least 25,000 mi. on it to break it in before I started to do anything to it. Now that I have finnaly hit the mileage it is time to upgrade and make some power, and get better mileage. I am pretty mechanically inclined but I have little to no knowledge of diesels and everything a person can do to them. I am looking forward to learning from all you duramasters.
I would do a exhaust atleast 4". Straight pipe if you dont mind the little extra noise. Then find a tuner or chip that meets you needs. There alot of good ones out there you just have to know what you want to do with the truck.

Welcome Aboard!! There are alot of things you can do for not alot of money. I would definately start with 4" exhaust and then maybe a tuner or intake. Although the factory intake is fairly good, if your going with a tuner, IMO I would change the intake also.
WELCOME to the FORUM...there is tons of info avalible here..
some ideas,first off start with a 4" or 5" exhaust from either MBRP or Silverline and then do a programmer from either Diablo,Quadzilla,ATS E-Power,PPE or EFILive and then if you want to invest into a CAI go with either AFE or Volant but that is not a must but i would highly recommend doing gauges to keep an eye on EGT temps and boost.with the programmer and exhaust that should gain you roughly 3-5MPG.i run the PPE and have gained 3-4 on 2 of my duramax's.hope this helps
PS don't add more then 80-90RWHP or level 3 on the PPE programmers on a stock tranny.
