Got New '06, Where Should I Start To Mod?

[olznut]

Just got my '06 last week and loving it. Lots of fun to drive :-laf . Where should I start to get some more power out of it? I have 2 trailers, one a car trailer that weighs no more than 6000lbs loaded, and a 25' Nomad travel trailer that's a little more. Who makes shocks for this thing? Feels a little soft in the front imo.

The set up I have is in my sig. The addition of the TST is probably the best thing I have done. My transmission wouldn't say the same thing as it doesn't like the higher power settings. I haven't stomped on it with the setting over 4/3 but i can feel it slip. I will fix that soon too. . I can say you will more than enjoy this truck! Congrats!

Some type of fueling box to wet your whistle. And then transmission, next deal with the lift pump then on to turbos and the "poor house". You can throw intakes and exhaust into the mix though I don't personally think they make a huge diff, a little yes, but not much.

Does your 06 have plastic aftercooler tubes? I got my Mega Cab last week and noticed that the tube going from the cooler to the engine in now plastic! What gives? Guess the Mopar guys are getting cheap again! If yours has plastic, I would suggest getting those out ASAP before and fueling increase. Good luck.

06's have lift pumps in the tank.

I'm waiting on the SMARTY. When I get bored with that I'll stack it with a TST w/digital guages. Then I'll start looking at the trans and bigger injectors.



I've also got a FASS pump sitting in my living room.

I have a 2006 auto, 373 and tow a 10,000 lb 5th wheeler. I go to the high Sierras Ca and have lots of power. I go from 4,000 feet to 9,500 and have lots of power. Going down hills use the auto to second gear and don't need exhaust brakes. I do not understand why it is necessary to do power up the dodge it has lots power. I think it is a waste of money. Get 100,000 mile warrranty with no powers and you will be better off. By power up you will tramission problems with auto.
