What are some other mods....

I am looking to buy more mods for my truck. But I do not plan on going to the track very much or at all. I already have the chip, filter,and pulley.
But it also has to be good for a daily driver truck. Do you guys think that the performance mods for a daily driver are over and I should start looking for appearance mods for the truck?
thanks alot for all your info.
Wheeler

what year?

You didnt say what year your truck was. If its a 99-00, an upgraded MAF would be a help. Same thing with gears. I'd go to 3.73's if you dont have an 01

If I were you, I would buy the new PSP "Tornado Air Management System." Tests have shown a 13% increase in gas mileage, and up to 20% MORE POWER. JL is also coming out with one in billet aluminum; PSP's kit is anodized the color of your truck.

Get a good aftermarket stereo, the tunes on these truck suck.

Cool Next mod.

Hey Wheeler,

No performance gain but, you may want to add a Bassani cat back system and give your L a better sound.

Lighting Al:
The mods that I got were fine for a daily diver truck. It's great because when I drive normal it runs like it was almost stock but when you hammer it, it really flys. One thing I do notice is that more so than before. When you hammer it I have sort of a traction problem. I still have to figure that one out.

Whitetoast:
The pulley size that I bought was the 3# pully from JL.

And for the system, I finally got one. It is the Kenwood Excleon 910DVD. That thing is awesome. Hopefully my sig. works now and you can see what I have.


See Ya
Wheeler
