Hello All
Going to pick up my fourth truck this weekend but my first Diesel. I just wanted to know if anybody had suggestions for upgrades that I would be stupid not to have done. Thanks in advance!

Cooled seats

If you're talking after, Deezee tailgate assist. I can't believe this isn't standard on every truck.

I don't get the leveling thing. They're setup incredibly for towing, so the first thing people do is put a level kit on it that makes it drag ass when you put a load on it.

That is one of the reasons I do not want to level the front....and if I want it higher, I think the best thing to do is a buy a good lift kit.

I put the rcx front level on mine with a bds rear 2.5 and love it kept the oem rake and can easily put 35s under her.as for towing thats why I did the rear. I have a 20 foot boat and a 28 ft camper did not want the rear to sag

To me, now you need to fill all that extra space with more rubber - is that your intention?

I cant find the thread, but the issue with the fan shroud rubber being sucked into the radiator/fan. Just happened on here to a few.

Buy some cheap little gromets, drill a hole, prevent that nonsense. Someone did it in that thread, I cant find it for the life of me. I thought it was in the HD section

AMP bumper step and Linex bed liner along with good running boards are mandatory upgrades for me.
