You have to set parameters.
How are you using it:
Super economy and diy fuel
Weekend put put truck or tow heavy all the time or Moderate hot rod truck
Slow off roading frequently or all highway use
Economy- want to spend little as possible long term or want the most reliability and happy to invest a lot now to do it.
Like things stock as possible or live to modify
What are your mechanical skills and budget.

How I build my 6.5 is completely different than others. There are guys that do not bat an eye at investing $20,000 into a 6.5. There are guys that hate to spend $20.
