Beginner Help!?

Okay...here goes. I use my truck for work and family. We live on 600 acres and it has to available for hard work. I am unfamiliar with any of the chips and engine modifications. Also do not have access to many good diesel mechanics. So before I step out there I was wondering about different options that improve perfromance and mileage. I have considered modifying the exhaust system but have yet to do anything. I have had good experiences with K&N air filters in gas engines. Do they add anything to the diesels. I bought the truck used with 91K miles and so far it has been a champ!

I would stay away from K&N on your diesel. The factory filter flows plenty of air for up to 500 hp, if you do change it, look at an AFE stage 2 PG7

K+N doesn't have a good track record for the diesel side of life. I would go with an AFE or AIR RAID before K+N. Green also makes a nice replacement element for the stock housing. MBRP makes a nice "test pipe" if you want to eliminate the cat and not dump the coin on a full system.

Welcome to the site horn, as mentioned MBRP is a good choice for an exhaust and on the tuning end of it you cant go wrong with an SCT with some custom tunes burned into it. You'll see an improvement in mileage and performance.
