Looking at your other posts/threads about this truck, such as the fact that the rear brake proportioning system is disconnected and non-functional, I'm going to make an unthinkable suggestion: STOP looking at upgrades and such until you have gone through the truck and fixed everything that needs fixing. Make it solid and reliable, drive it for awhile, and THEN you can take your time deciding what you really want to upgrade.

 

This is good advice.

I’ve being daily driving it for 3 months now, nothing has gone wrong, I am going through replacing parts that need it before I upgrade anything big, just because I haven’t posted every time I change brakes or a simple oil change doesn’t mean I’m not replacing parts as I post on here for IDEAS on ways to upgrade my truck.

I was not defending the concept of a grouping of parts as a 'kit', if you have paid any attention to my posts (attitude) you would know that I think 'kits' are for dummies. 

 

DUI sells the cap and rotor separately. I bought the Elchin from NAPA and paid more than the DUI. 

 

Try to find a truly custom made high quality 10mm wire set that is numbered and insulated and in a color of your choice for the 2.5 or 4.0........you cannot, so, $100 is a good deal.  (and further- you can no longer find a set with a 90 degree boot on the #1 plug to clear the AC compressor, DUI does) 

A set of Taylor wires will cost you just as much if not more and will not be insulated. 

 

 

I responded to the 'pixie dust' comment and the point was that as separate parts they are no more expensive than any other parts, and cummins performance tuning grouped or not.

 

 

And you can make what you want of this-

 

 

Yes it has been done. While you are at it consider also upgrading spark plugs, plug wires, cold air intake and doing a fuel injector cleaning. What vehicle are you working on so better recommendations can be given.
