it might have been on dieselsellerz im not sure I found it on craigslist.
my mod list would be
rough country lvl (hopefully I can squeeze 35's in there)
new rims not sure if ill go chrome or stick with black
smoked cab lights
tinted windows
5 inch turbo back
intake
tuner
no major performance upgrades but enough for me, Im just not sure which tuner or intake would be the best bang for my buck so any advice would be appreciated! the only thing with the tuner is I want one that I can monitor different things so I don't have to get a pillar gauge!

Good list to start with.
35's will fit...stock. So no worries there
Intake...go with an AFE (IMO) good price with good results
Tuner, go with an Adrenaline and Edge. They monitor anything you need and real easy to install.
Just remember, these trucks are amazing and strong. But you start adding horsepower you need to save up for stronger stuff. Keep your tuner on low and you should be ok, but if you turn it up you might want to start looking for a built transmission.
Keep up on your maintenance, repairs on a cummins aren't cheap. Spend the money on good quality fuel filters so your not replacing injectors anytime soon. Monitor your oil level, if you have a leaking injector, the fuel can get into your oil and ruin your engine. If your oil level goes up, and you didn't add any oil...you got a problem. lol
Welcome to the dark side...you'll love it. These trucks are addicting. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

yeah I was thinking of going with the edge juice w/attitude but a buddy of mine said it wasn't to great, and yeah im not looking to give it a hell of a lot more power just enough to stay safe with my trans and blow some smoke when I want! but as of now I love this truck so much more than my old gas motor I'm glad I made the purchase!
