[QUOTE="!!!PainTrain!!!, post: 3610093, member: 18161"] First of all i hear that alot of the older style dodges like the 98's and such are crap boxes after about 100K miles. Two of my friends had 98 Cummins and they both became money pits, started to nickel and dime them all the time. So id go with the Stroker. The mods all depend on what the engine is. If it is a 7.3, then you really don't have alot of high horsepower choices, at least that i know of. But if it is a 6.0, then you can really make that thing fly. Just don't get suckered into buying something that you really don't like and don't know anything about. But the first thing i did is open up the air flow. Got an intake, and exhaust. then i went with the programmer. If you get a programmer, make sure to get some gauges so you can monitor the EGT's because they will build up quite rapidly when you are running higher horsepower and high boost. But not far behind is the tranny. Especially on the older Powerstrokes, they are the weak point. Upgrade the tranny as soon as possible so you can be safe with your mods. All this is just my opinnon, so take it for what you will. Good luck on the truck hunt tho. [/QUOTE]
