If the mods increased the reliability or longevity of the vehicle; caused it to steer, handle or brake better maybe the changes would be worthwhile.
Changing the towed vehicle to independent suspension, high quality tires and ANTILOCK disc brakes with a Hensley-patent hitch for conventionals, well, that would do everything “good” listed above.
Time to grow up.
So if you don't like mods then why post here? Most grown ups would just hit the back button if they didn't like what the topic was about so maybe it is about that time......
Although, some of the mods named do increase longevity of the engine by allowing it to run cooler by moving more air through the engine. Nick at Calibrated Power explains why doing this actually makes the truck more reliable in a this video(LINK) Also, removing or reducing EGR actuation, which creates a lot of soot and more regens on newer trucks, reduces fuel dilution which increases longevity as well.
But again, if you don't like mods then this thread is not for you and a simple click of the back button like most grown ups would do will relieve you from having to see all these nasty mods.
