I'm thinking if I got a mail order tune I'd get a logging cable tune from blackbear. Just seems to me like for the money it'd be worth the extra accuracy

Charlie can do the logging tuning also, just so you know... I am up in the air as to which one to choose...

Well, the local guy here has a streaming license, and tunes for 75 bucks, so I'm probably going that route.

tune, hid's, some color matching, UDP, Efans w/ 32" rad, and/or bigger alt. Try getting the small things that you'll need to upgrade when the real modding begins.

That was kinda my logic right now, midnight. Get the small stuff done.

Since the truck is bone stock, except for a 40 series, and a spectre "cold" air intake, I was thinking maybe Efans, servos, shift kit, and small stuff like that too.

Suggestions please

Sounds like $400 is the upper end. If you're doin the work, labor doesn't have to be added. Figure out if u want performance (my vote & it always will be!) or cosmetics.
If you're gettin a tune for $75, then u have ~$325 or less, to work from. Get a wide band, a mount for it, & u just might have enough left for servos or a shift kit. You might need to kick in a bit, depending on what route you take.

I'll guess wide band ~$200, which needs bung welded in @ proper angle/ location.
Welding labor can vary, so that may affect other things u can purchase.

WB mount, $25 & up.
A Trans-go shift kit ~$100.

Obviously, servos go above that price point w/. what I included. Or delete shift kit, & substitute servos.

That help any?

Helps, yes, but why exactly need a wideband right now?
