I just got a 2006 with a 6.0 and 100,000 miles on it. It's got a 2 inch lift and mudders on it, but that's about it. A farmer around here used it to pull a 5th wheel stock trailer. I've been looking at EGR bypass kits, and think I will be going with a 4 inch exhaust right off the turbo straight down into a huge stainless glasspack after getting rid of both cats. Then just a 90 degree turn down toward the pavement. Looking at the STX programmers that will mount right on the dash. You can turn the EGR and stuff off with those, so you don't get the check engine light, plus you get 3 modes of performance. Economy, normal, and tow. Down the road (I plan on this being my last truck) maybe a larger / nicer intercooler and bigger turbo. These things seem like a 2000 pound swiss watch man, so I'm searching for any info I can find. From what I've seen, simple mistakes can be around 4 or 5 bills, while a good screw up can be 1000s. Yikes! I did get rid of the paper cone speakers in the doors. I put some JBLs in the front, which I took the BP lytics out and put in some films for the little tweeters. The rears got polks and I couldn't get to those caps.
