Looking for some advise. A buddy has asked me to help upgrade his duramax, whick I'm not experienced with because I currently own a Ford. So I will use this advise for him and me also because I'm thinking about switching to a duramax.

He would like a little better MPG and more power. He said that he will spend around $1,000 - $1,500. What would be the correct way to spend his money and not put alot of risk on the truck? Please advise.

Thanks everybody (my first post)

I recommend going with the Edge Juice and Attitude which is about $800, a K&N cold air intake $250 and removing the muffler which will cost him about $60 at the local muffler shop unless he wants to spend an additional $500-$600 for an aftermarket exhaust system.

Welcome to "the Diesel place". You realize that we will attempt to convert you also):h .
What ever he goes with, the key thing to remember is to stay well below 100HP. Other wise he will be spending somewhere in the $3-4k range to get his tranny upgraded.:rolleyes:
