first mod for new truck

[hardpan]

Hello Guys I have a 2006 1500 hd 6.0 and was wondering what most would do to a new truck to give it a little more power, im thinking basic bolt on's but not sure were to start. It fills like i have a trailer behind me. Is this the tq mgn in trans?

Go with a Cold Air intake (Volant), T/B spacer, and a nice 3inch duel exhaust system. This will Improve gas mileage, and increase your performance.

Well, a CAI is probably a good start, but the throttle body spacer will net you no gains what so ever. Best bang for your buck would be a dyno tune, or custom mail order tune if you dont have access to a dyno in your area.

As with Linda, I'd go first with the tune. Maybe a CAI and a magnaflow exaust. Definitely scrap the Spacer.

Thanks for the replys. So i will start with cai first then tune followed by cat back. Also since this is my first 4x4 how would u launch this truck, it has the auto track buttons.

For the love of everything Holy, don't put a spacer on or a 3 inch dual exhaust. Unless your runnin 500HP you don't need that much exhaust.

 

CAI, and custom tune.

In my own opinion, which is worth nothing since everyone has one. Your factory exhaust flows really well. Plus it's stainless steel and mandrel bent. I personally would only change out the muffler.

Also is there a chance of running with a Dmax? I dont have anything to pull besides a small trailer with a couple of quads,or i would have got a dmax.

Oh get the spacer, they make great paper weights and will work great next to a Tornado that can be used to hold you pens and pencils.

 

On a serious note, I added a TrueFlow CAI system to my wife's Yukon XL and I really like it. It is very high quality, is a true sealed cold air intake, looks great under your hood and will help your HP & TQ from about 2,300 rrrs on up. We tow a 6400lb camper with the truck and the Trueflow really comes through on the hills

 

However, if you are looking for intake roar, this is not the system for you. It is not much louder than stock, which is one of the reasons I bought it.
