Hi everyone,

I've got a 95 gmc sierra extended cab, long bed to which i have done the following;

FSD Heat-Sync kit
OPS Switch
Lift pump
Vacuum pump
Air induction kit
New front end bushings

The motor has 150,000 and the tranny has about 30,000. I would like to in the future get a three guage kit, the 80 hp chip, a 4" exhaust, the cooling upgrade, possibly new injectors, and the instant heat glow plugs.

My question is this, what is the correct order that I should do these upgrades so that i will avoid any problems:eek: that might arise.

Thanks for you input!

If you tow with your truck it is very important

Exhaust,Gauges,Intake,chip. Also Only really need tranny temp. if towing. But; looks better on the pillar as 3 gauges instead of two.

so for gauges, it would be.. Boost, Exhaust Temp and Tranny Temp?

Yes, if you do alot of towing you want to keep an eye on your tranny. The boost is good to know, and EGT will tell you if you are about to melt your pistons or your turbo!! :)
