How much have you spent on your truck so far?

How much have you spent on your truck so far? Just wondering what people are doing/spending to their trucks since they got them.

 

Hmmmm, about 500 bucks. I swaped out the factory hitch for a Reese Titan V, added a Jordan BC and Bilstien shocks...Add up 18000 miles worth of Diesel fuel too :doah:
For the future I see new tires (Tad bigger) and possable exahust swap but other than that I am keeping mine stock waytogo

 

$3K - full tranny upgrade with all the goodies, Edge EZ box, BHAF. More to come.............

 

Well....about $25K for the truck, $2K for my extended warranty, $200 on my billet grille/bumper inserts/intenna. About $320 on a set of "used" michelin tires with about 90% tread. I've had a couple small things go wrong with it and had it in the shop and probably spent about $300 in deductables. Changed my coolant and rear end oil...probably about $35 or so.

Near future investments are going to be a Prodigy controller and gooseneck hitch, soon....

Far future investments will be a 4" MBRP exhaust, either a black box and/or MADD ECM. Maybe a WSB turbo and a set of injectors but I'll see. I can't modify my truck with it covered under warranty so it'll be 1.5 years before I do any BOMBing.

 

About $2200 for the camper shell and bedrug, another $145 for a new drawbar, $20 for a hitch lock that didn't fit the 2.5" receiver... That's about it.

 

Way too much considering it's just plain weak. :doah:

 

Way more than I tell my better half about ! She might get the thought in her head that she could spend even more money...........
Tom :

Tool box
Bed liner
Tail gate protector
Reciever ball/pintle hook
HD rubber floor mats
Synthetics throughout the drivetrain
Rear F-450 fined diff cover
Front tow hooks
Larger tires
spare set of factory aluminium rims ( swap meet )
gauges pyro/ fuel-isolator /boost and related parts for each
3" suspension lift ( still have not put on truck )
All post truck purchases equal about $3,200.00 and there is so much more that I want to get still.......

 

Not much so far, although I have spent almost $500 in gas since February. The only investment I've made as of yet is a chip tune for $75. Once I save a few bucks I'm getting a bedliner and one of these days some new tires.

 

Only mods Ive done to my truck thus far is sirius satellite radio.. Costs me 12 bucks a month, plus the cost of hte equipment, which was about $65.00. I tried to remove the silencing ring on the turbo today, but gve up aft fighting with that dang snap ring forever.... Ive gota bid in on some tow mirrors on ebay for the truck, so those are next... Only other mods planned are maybe a straight pipe, quadzilla towing box and a spray in bedliner of some sort.
