Ok man....here you go.
You want ALOT of things so I'm going to hit them all where they won't hit your wallet hard....well except stereo b/c I don't know hardly listen to mine.
PRE-FIRST....OIL SEPERATOR!!!!! Go out there and take off your inlet elbow, and crack the throttle body open...if its stock I'll put MONEY on the fact you've got oil in the intake. Take a trip to lowes or home depot and get an air compressor air / water seperator and 3/8" barb'd fittings. Less that 25 bones. PUT IT ON THE TRUCK! You'll see some guys say "that shit belongs on a tool, not a truck, bla bla bla..." Bottom line is...it WORKS. Slap it on, go out, do a couple of full throttle blasts....1 or 2 gear changes will do it. Then pull over, look at the bowl. You'll see oil. THAT oil was on its way into the blow and ONTO the intercooler will it will gum it up! How many miles are on the truck BTW? Might be a good idea to pull the blower and clean the intercooler sometime! I've never EVER heard of the oil in the intake problem popping a motor but it still isn't supposed to be there. If you don't know where it should go, lemme know. Its a 5 minute / 25 dollar job that will make your junk ALOT cleaner. Just drain the bowl back into the motor every fill up!
FIRST...you want suspension...get some drop shackles. They can be had for a 3" rear drop to level the truck out for probably $75 bucks. Install is an hour if you know what your're doing. That should tide you over for the the suspension until you really wanna slam it.
SECOND...The motor....Throttle bodies don't do CHIT until you need them. Mine had an Accufab from the previous owner on it...yours bone stock just dyno'd higher. Cold air intake....the choice is yours and of course....you know what I'm going to say, 6lb Pulley and an IMMEDIATE TUNE! Wayne has Sniper software which is FANTASTIC on the mod motors. Trust me when I say, thats ALL you'll need b/c thats close to ALL that motor will take! You can add the exhaust of your choice when you can afford it to make yourself "heard" and YES, magnaflows sound GOOD...I know...I had'em.
THIRD....Red tails....
FOURTH....the $17 dollar grill mod. Look at my old grille...and look at yours. Bling it out. That is that tacky ass chrome stick-on trim you see slapped all over the wanna-be low rider shit boxes....stuck on the grille. It sets the truck OFF I think. Call it a Poor man's harley grille. It'll take a lil less than two rolls and a razor blade.
