Figured I'd start a build page for what will likely be the longest and most expensive build I've ever done. This truck is my daily driver so it will be used for commuting to work, weekend trips to home depot, hunting rig, and a handful of times a year as a tow rig for longer distance glamping with a travel trailer. I've wanted a diesel forever and with the trips my wife and I plan to take with a TT it finally made sense to buy one. With that, and the fact that when well cared for these diesel trucks can last "forever" I'm not sparing any expense when it comes to the truck. I don't plan to buy top of the line for everything "just because" but especially when it comes to engine components, suspension, etc. I'm doing exactly what I want. With that said, here is my current planning and some items I'm thinking about. Below is the current truck build from the factory.
2019 2500 Laramie 4x4 6.7 Cummins
Anti-spin rear axle with 3.73s
Level 2 package
Towing tech package
Sport appearance
The primary goals I have for the truck are to be a fun daily driver, rip and have fun with it every once in a while, usable towing rig for my needs, and retain a fair amount of reliability. In the end I'd love to have 800+ HP on this thing while also daily driving it, and from what I've read it seems doable with the time and money. 1,000 HP would be great if I could keep it streetable, mainly just to say I could.
