Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I have a stock '97 3500 4 wheel drive standard with 4. 10 gearing with 28,500 miles and "I need more power". This vehicle is used to haul overwidth utility sheds sometimes 14' wide by 40' long with lots of wind resistance along with weight towing capacity maxed out. What power upgrades should I consider? What about upgrades to the fuel plate, turbo upgrade, fuel pump upgrade, etc? What gives the biggest bang for the buck?
I also have a '95 2500 4 wheel drive automatic with 4. 10 gearing with 115,000 miles and I installed the Banks turbo system on it along with larger injectors, tranney and torque convertor beefed up, extra tranney cooler (but can still build up heat if I'm not careful), Ricksen tires and rims (the taller tires helped to lower the highway RPM's by 200 but I get higher tranney temps when towing on hilly back roads especially backing up also loss of miles per gallon. ) Not what the salesperson told me to expect.
Nothing has been done to the fuel pump other then the Banks fuel plate. This truck works hard and pulls OK but not what I had anticipated. I don't want to make the same mistakes on the '97 3500.
Please advise, I don't need to race only to tow hard!
