Hey guys, I just recently bought a 2006 ram 2500 its got efi live a 5" exhaust, triple disk converter, semi built tranny with a billet input shaft. Is there anything I should look out for with this year truck? Any common problems I can fix before they happen?

I have the same year- front end components as usual(tie rods and ball joints)- depending on mileage injectors and crank case gasket/oil pan gasket! Other than that nothing as long as you keep changing oil/fuel filters!

check the 4th fuel line every now and then to make the bracket is tight. they tend to get loose and end up cracking or wearing a hole in the fuel line, then fuel sprays every where.

What kind of fuel filtration is on truck ?
You need a water separator and 2 micron filter.
