Picking up my new 09 next week and want to do the following mods

What do you guys think? Should i be looking in a different direction?

Banks Six Gun, Speed Loader, IQ display

Banks ram air intake

Banks Single Exhaust (for looks)

Any recommendations from you experts? I'm new at this diesel thing

Depending on what you want to do with your truck but I agree don't spend the money on the banks go straight to EFI Live do a little research and talk to some venders they will help you decide.

I should also say that my truck will never see any track time. I just want a nice little boost in performance over stock. Nothing radical and i want to maintain reliability.

Still think i should forget about the Banks setup and go EFI Live?

Well that will be up too you. With EFI Live it is a computer program where you can adjust any and every parameter the ECM or TCM control. Plus you can get a switch that holds 2 tunes or 5 tunes at once. You'll have to do some research and see if its really what you need or not.

If you want to keep it legal, then the Banks parts will definitely be the best for the job. I can set you up with a package deal on all those parts if you want. Let me know if I can help.

If you aren't looking for too much power and good MPG do with the DPF delete and a Quad S2 a great budget setup that guys really like. But be warned that once you get rid of the DPF or put a programmer in your warranty will be voided.

Anybody have any input on the Banks ram air intake?
Waste of money?
