New to this forum. look at it alot but never post. I just bought a 2001 two wheel drive duelly with 7000mi from the original owner. The guy just wanted pay off. I got a pretty good deal. Got some guestions??? I am going to put guages in{pyro&boost} shoul I also put a fuel pressure also and if so should you mount it inside the cab or in the engine bay?? And what one to buy????Also If I doaway wuth the muffler will that void the warrienty?? And is there eney thing else that I can do without voidinf the warrinty??? Another good thing about this I sold my first gen to my dad and he has been a chevy man with big block duellys for ever and now he sees the power and the good fuel milage and the durabilty these trucks have. when I first got a cummins he said :-{} to me and it will never beat his 454, now look Thanks and thanks for the input

Welcome to the "overvalved" crowd - I did the same thing, 11 years and 120,000 miles on an early '91 - THEN the new truck! Pretty substantial learning curve, and some difficulty in understanding which of the many hints and upgrades apply to what year trucks - but THIS is the place to learn!



Good luck with the new ride, they're GREAT!
