I know someone had a thread that mentioned these, but I can't seem to find it. I believe it was for Christmas gift ideas. Can someone link it, or drop your favorite mods/accessories?

How "budget friendly" we talking?

 

Muffler delete = 10 bucks in material to 100 in material and install

Cold air = 250ish from S&B

White Auto Media Group is $400 (300 for flash/100 for tool) for tons of customizing (speed limiter delete...automatic close windows from key FOB etc)

LED reverse lights = 10 bucks

My favorite inexpensive mod on these trucks is the tailgate lettering. There's a lot of options out there for styles and colors. People get really creative with it.

Tinted windows is another nice option that helps keep your interior cool plus I think it helps the look of our trucks

Tailgate light bar. Amazon has some cheap ones for around $30. Buy the putco harness for about $50 and you’re good to go

I have a pair of these as well. They are stupid easy to install. What is nice is the fronts don’t have tape, only the rears. My only complaint I feel that they are not wide enough.

Auto Stop Eliminator, and I also agree with tinted windows... or tint front windows to match the rear.

 

I also always get rear wheelhouse liners. I can't stand the unfinished look of the rear wheel houses on trucks.

 

Spray in bedliner a classic but that's getting a little more expensive. All 4 of these together should still be <$1k which is nice

"Cheap Mods" is a relative term determined by whose wallet the money is coming from, but considering I'm a fairly cheap individual by most standards, these are my recommended first mods listed in the order I would have them done.

 

1. Bed Liner

2. Interior Floor Mat System

3. Rear Under Seat Storage

4. Rear Wheel Well Liners

5. Traction Boards

 

If you are ever going to the beach or going to be in sandy areas, I suggest you order some traction boards and move them higher up on the list.  They are cheap and FANTASTIC!  Mine have been used twice, once for myself and once for my neighbor's kid when he got stuck in his front yard after a hard day or two of rain.  They work, plain and simple.

    • Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks. 
    • With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece. 
    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
