Re: Opinions On Upgrade Path
I agree with what has been mentioned. Billet Y is a cheap insurance policy. I bought mine and kept it in the truck Incase mine split again. I did install it before it cracked again so all is well with that.
the protect plate is an upgrade from stock relatively speaking but if you are wanting maximum reliability then go with a whole new VB. The kit will help over stock but with raised pressures still cross leak sooner than later. You can call BD and they will tell you the same thing.

Only modifications are cosmetic except for the BD Stock replacement turbo.
I have a Dynatrac Freespin kit with Warn hubs on the way.
I'm wanting to work on a path that improves reliability.
Right now, I'm thinking Aluminum Y pipe to get rid of the crappy plastic one I've already had fail once, a BD ProTect trans kit with BD high volume trans pan.
So that's my credit plus a little extra cheese.
My thought, I only pull a small offroad(ish) travel trailer but I pull it down the beach in some sometimes sketchy sand so the trans gets a bit of a workout there so my idea is to beef up trans stuff first.
After that, I want to do an AEV lift so that will correct all of the crap Mopar front end issues. T
heeeeeen I'll probably delete.
This is my first diesel so wondering, does this sound like a good plan?
Input would be appreciated.
Other than the obvious thing you mentioned towards the bottom.
I'd do the y-pipe and a Synergy drag link with a few fuel filters.
Reliability comes first in my opinion.
