Message: [QUOTE="drunk on diesel, post: 1220480, member: 2558"] if you're a reasonable human being with a reasonably decent truck to start with? not a whole lot... maintain it regularly, and hook it to a scanner/monitor at the first inkling that there's an issue... a stumble, misfire, extended start, etc. then get on here or another forum, and the members will help you get it lined out. if you just feel like tearing apart a perfectly good truck? pull the motor, roll mains in it, reseal the bed plate, new rear main, have the heads machined and tested, replace the lifters, replace the oil cooler, put it together with ARP head studs, put it back together with ELC coolant and a bypass coolant filter. but I'm the kind of guy who waits for there to be SOME issue that warrants actually tearing into one. if you just put a safe tune on it and drive the SOB, it'll probably be like so many other well maintained stock 6.0's that go 300-400k miles without much issue. now, if you call up a performance shop and ask them the same question, you're going to get a much more expensive answer than mine...
