Some ideas

[Karson]

My truck is already leveled with 33x12x20 and was wondering what all upgrades y’all suggest and if y’all have deleted your ecodiesel and if so what is the best route to go

Great looking truck! Some options for delete include GDE and PPEI. They can get you fixed up.

Could you send me links or websites with the kit you would recommend

I guess my real question is for instance on like the 5.9 Cummins 03 and up all you need in a programmer/tunner screen for instance a smarty touch can I put something along the lines like H&S, smarty, EFILive, ezlink, etc... would any of those work and just buy exhaust system as well

None of those mentioned will work. The EcoDiesel has security restrictions that has limited the amount of tuners/devices that will work with the ECM.

However, I did see a post that OBD II flashing is coming soon for the EcoDiesel, so it might be sooner than you think and a few of those devices might work.

Word to the Wise
We all purchased full size trucks with one of the smallest diesel engines. Do not expect any upgrades to significantly improve performance. These trucks were designed for light duty and great fuel mileage. The GDE tune seems to be the most comprehensive to correct the shortcomings of the 3.0. But you need to know these are not like the Cummins rams that you can bolt on and tweak to 600+ HP and 1800 TQ with shelf items. you have a 206-210 RWHP truck that is highly computer controlled and will give up longevity for anything over 10% performance upgrades.
I have had (4) Cummins Dodge / Rams, and have done moderate upgrades on a couple of them resulting in transmission and drive train failures. Twisted driveshafts, blown Tq converters...
The Ecodiesels are already near performance capacities from the factory. If you want it to last... don't try to push the upgrades too far. This engine can be fragile, and I wouldn't want to replace a 8 speed trans or cause premature cam gear failure by bumping compression/ boost.
Good luck with your truck.

Honestly I’m not looking for speed for torque just miss the coal rollin from 5.9 Cummins and being loud while cruising what would be the best route and kit for that

Well I can ship you some old toner powder from my blue print machine... you can run a string to a velco sealed bag, mount it to your spare and wait for a chevy or ford to crawl up to you... then zip away. For the noise tie some 40 gallon steel trash cans to a hemp rope and drag them behind you, like you are on your honeymoon. That should do it. Instant satisfaction. lol

Well if you want to hear turbo spool up and flutter banks makes a air intake tube replacement no baffles. Or if you want to spend the big bucks install the whole air intake system
