Get a newer Common Rail Cummins they are easy as hell to get aftermarket stuff for and parts are cheap and they have good ride quality plus they have all the pulling power you'll ever need.
2006 Chevy Silverado cc/sb Duramax, 3 inch lift, 18s w/ 33"s, intake, exhaust, turbo, intercooler, PPE Hot+2, suncoast tranny, injectors, and much more! any questions just ask!

It depends on how bonkers you wanna go. The most expensive i saw was an 07 5.9 for $38,450 and the cheapest thing i saw was an 03 5.9 for $17,000

thats sounds like the better choice, that emissions crap kills fuel economy and power

yeah around then mbrp makes dpf back exaust systems but your still loseing at least 30 hp with the dpf/cat but yes 07 5500 cab and chasiss is such a great deal you can get them in the four door crew cab or whatever its called and a 2 door you can also get them sent out with some dealers to get a 10ft box like a stock truck for something like 8k? its not cheap but worth it
