Brainstorming

[KiloCummins04]

So for those of you a little more advanced, I thought this might be fun. I have a 2004 3500 4wd. So I'm gonna use my truck as the basis for this brainstorm. The intent of this is to bounce out ideas in order to help myself and others make some decisions. I have a few mods on my truck, nothing major yet. Here we go

so a stock truck, no mods.
Id like to see what you guys would throw at it in order from first to last
not building a mega truck just a nice daily driver with a little attitude.
And... go!

Valve body in the transmission
Traction bars
Regear 4.10 or 4.88 depending on tire size and what you use it for. 4.10 for hauling. 4.88 for having some fun
Cold air intake

If you're not deleting call it a day

The first question would be how much do you want to spend. On the cheap side, a Diablo tuner and exhaust.

Here I'm putting no price tag on it. Like I said not going mega truck, just daily driver that pulls a trailer often. Just wanna see what kind of ideas and set ups other people have as a part of making my truck which has been my dream truck to the point of looking 3 years for exactly what I wanted, truly into my dream truck. I was hoping myself and others could bounce these ideas around in the name of everyone gaining a little knowledge and insight through a group effort.

Personally i so far have a fully upgraded transmission (suncoast parts) s&B intake, bddiesel turbo, and 4" straight pipe exhaust with and edge juice with attitude and egt probe. I believe the previous owner had done a couple other things but I can't pinpoint exactly what or the specs of the parts installed. I'm currently getting an average of 20 mpg between city and hwy, it goes down once I hit anything over 75ish mph. I have b&w gooseneck as well as upgraded bumper pull trailer hitch and b&w ball mount. I have iron cross bumpers front winch and a rear which I have yet to install, along with a 12k smittybilt x2o winch with synthetic rope and a pro link. I just have so much mandatory overtime and things lately I haven't been able to do much. I have a welding/fab business that I run along with my grandpa on my days off from the fire department so it does see it's share of jobsites and a 35ft big Tex gooseneck hauling tractors and bobcats around

Certainly! Let's hear it. I have a few cosmetic things I want to do but mostly performance and function is what I was hoping to be the focus

Just want to verify if it's an 04 or an 04.5?

How would I tell if it's 04 or 04.5

Look at the tag on the inside frame of driver's door. It will give a month and year the truck was assembled
