Hello Everybody, I am new in this forum and so far I have found a lot of useful information and seen many of your beautiful trucks!
I just got mine and have dressed it up nicely, but what I like the most is the power this baby has, with the Banks Six Gun tuner and speedloader upgrade. What do you guys think of that tuner? I wasn't able to shop around much before getting this one, but so far I like it. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/hihi.gif
Any recommendations to it? I have no exhaust system or filter system yet.
I have put some pictures up on a website I have:

I was looking at your website and it seems you have a very fast truck there! What recommendations would you give me for my Dodge, as to, next steps to take into the performance category after the six gun tuner?

In my opinion in addition to the current box you have, DTT tranny, PDR twin turbos, DD3 Injectors, FASS fuel system, pyro, boost, trans temp, fuel pressure gauges, Snow Performance water/meth, NX, AFE PG7 intake, 5" exhaust, and a larger cummins logo.
But that's just *my* opinion. :)

Wow!! That's a big list...........I would love to have all of that but it can't happen yet. I'll have to go step by step.

I am running the TST box and like it a bunch. Your truck has a 4" exhaust on it already. The Banks exhaust would be a waste for you. Find you a high flow muffler instead. The upgrade to a 5" would probably be a good idea.

I had the 6 gun in my gmc and liked it. My dodge is currently stock.....and most likely will stay that way (for now???) How does it perform in your dodge?

Any 5" exhaust out there will have a loud highway drone. It can be helped with a resonator, but it'll most likely still be there around 2000 - 2200 RPM, especially under load. I have the 5" straight pipe from Rip. Unless you're going to push serious horsepower with twins or a large single turbo, the exhaust you already have should be fine. Just get a better flowing muffler and instake and you'll be fine unless you go all out.
I also have the TST box. I LOVE it. It has some awesome horsepower numbers, but if you can't resist the temptation of turning it all the way up without the turbo and tranny upgrades -- something will break. If you have a bit of self control the TST is the best box on the market for the 3rd gen Cummins.

Thanks for the advice guys! I will probably get the high flow intake next and then the muffler. The Banks tuner really makes a difference in this truck as far as I can tell. The only problem I had was making the tuner learn the transmission. It was kinda of frustrating because I had to drive it like 4 times for different lengths of time before it learned I had an automatic transmission.

i've got BD's [bd power, not bully dog] 5" system on mine. it would/should work on the 600/610's if you reuse the factroy downpipe.... sounds pretty good, fits pretty well [my downpipe hanger was a little out]. it comes with a chrome tip which i didn't use [didn't quite like the style of the slash cut]

):h You sure got a pretty truck. I noticed you have the big tall wheels and they are mighty nice. I just am old school. I like a lot of rubber between the wheel and the ground. My wife's CTS has those wide short tires. They handle good but rid ruff.
