well i put a set of twins on the cummins and drove it about a mile and poped a head gasket. and just did not have time to mess with it. and my buddy was wanting my truck every since i had it. so he gave me his truck and $2000 cash. i just wanted something new. my cummins was a 91 d250.

Damn that sucks. As for the v6's, I had a 2004 3.7L v6 and vs. the hemi and 4.7L... it was a dog. An intake would help a little and a tune, but as far as performance, that's really all that's gonna help. Small cubic inch engine, mods wont be as effective unfortunately. Moved this to the engine performance section for ya.

i think i got a pretty good deal cause my truck was rusting bad it needed a lot of work on the body. and i was just tired of dumping money in it and not making none with it. cause i haul hay as a side job and down here in texas we just did not make much hay last year so that was slow. and i was just dumping money in it. and not putting it to work.

Superchips should have a tuner. You might be able to find a used one too, and save some money. Another option besides that 3815 is the 3715. Thats the one I have. The newer ones have a trans tuning options which our earlier trucks can't do
