Good upgrades?
I have decided to restore my K10 to stock and just buy an M1008 for beating/offroad/etc. What are some good upgrades from stock? I think my list is pretty good so far.
Rear disk brakes (maybe) Front and rear lockers New front springs (diesel weight has killed them) 32x11.5 BFG A/T Banks intake and exhaust(or maybe just the sidewinder kit) And hopefully a stock diesel tach

Re: Good upgrades?
I would go with m/ts instead of the a/ts. The a/ts blow in the mud and m/ts last just as long.

Re: Good upgrades?
as for the sidewinder kit, i believe you can piece together the turbo parts from a 6.5 and they will all bolt on

You can piece together the 6.5 turbo parts for alot less than a Sidewinder kit.And,that turbo ain`t much that comes with it.The main thing is you`d need to modify your heater box or re-configure the turbo location.I took the big turbo off my truck and want to sell it.I`m back to original equipment.

Re: Good upgrades?
If you're gonna sell then a simple wash and wax with some armor all would be all I do... The less you put in the more profit you will see.
