Nice ride.
Maintenance is very important on this particular engine. At least once a week, make sure you get on it real hard to keep the turbo clean of soot. The 6.0 was known for problems with the emissions system, and if you let it idle a lot and don't ever give it much throttle, you will have problems up the wazzoo. That turbo needs to be clean. Oil should be kept clear as well. Your EGR system, if you don't have emissions checks in your area, should be deleted. Most of the problems with the truck can be traced to the EGR system.
